FWIW, I've been using v1 for a while and it has uncovered quite a few
real bugs across the kernel.

Some of them (I didn't go beyond the first page on google):

* https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/9/162 - Which resulted in major changes to
ballooning.
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/192
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/24/359


Thanks,
Sasha
