It's killed by cgroups - not a CPU exception.

The same test works fine using TCP migration with cgroups - everything 
is fine there.

The memory that RDMA attempted to register hits some kind of cgroups policy
which results in a kernel message saying that the cgroup swap limit was hit
and then it goes ahead and kills the process altogether.

It's not a QEMU problem - it seems to be a kernel bug.
