I backported this patch cleanly on top of 6.12.24 and ran it on some of
our production nodes. I compared 6.12.24 to the patched 6.12.24 over the
last three days, and we saw a drop in ENOMEM reports from firecracker.
It also appears our VM's to be consistently spinning up again.

When you said stable here, I checked the stable queue and lists, but I
didn't see this patch in 6.12. (only in the 6.14/15 stable) Can we get
this backported to 6.12 as well?
