We've only recently started using this veth/macvtap combo, so it's 
possible this has been around for awhile and we just hadn't noticed.

I don't have any info on older kernels currently.  I *think* I've seen 
crashes on 3.17.1, but I didn't save any stack traces, so I can't be sure.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not set, and never has been.
