Hi Sarah and List,

Thanks so much for the reply and info.

I am running 3.10.68-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 most everywhere so I will

Looks like it might be
http://xen-devel.narkive.com/4ANUbmbs/rfh-kernel-oops-in-xen-netbk-rx-action
-xenvif-gop-skb

According to Wei Liu the bug is gone in version 3.12 or later, though I have
not reviewed the code myself. Xen4CentOS released kernel-3.18.12-11 2 days
ago.
