Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Fix sched_priv corruption in ARINC653 alloc_vdata.

The ARINC653 scheduler was directly assigning and manipulating
the sched_priv field of a vcpu in its alloc_vdata function.

When creating a cpu pool, this resulted in the corruption
of the sched_priv field of the vcpu, which was then passed
to the initial scheduler's free_vdata function with
disastrous results.
