You have a better idea of that than I do - however, it seemed to me that
a complete fix for the cases where allocation failed would be more
likely to be accepted than something that only fixes one place.

Another thing to consider -- hitting allocation failures is MUCH more
likely in the Xen environment when live migration is in use; how often
is a processor taken down and then restarted outside of live migration?
However, since live migration can occur when the domain has been up for
a long time, it's much more likely for the allocation to fail (although
presumably still somewhat low)...

Excuse my ignorance but what's the process for pushing something like
this upstream?
