Yes, I got it. With the first look I gave, I can think that your fix is the 
right one - you already checked what I said you. I cannot guarantee that it 
works - but current->vx_info is very meaningful and makes a lot of sense.

However, I'd recommend you to be careful about starting UML's from inside 
vserver - if you want, test it first and be careful about crashes. Reports 
about both success or failure are needed and welcome!

Bye and thanks.
