This is getting really weird - as I found out I'll enounter problems
with far fewer vifs/bridges that suspected. I just fired up a network
with 7 nodes, all with four interfaces each connected to the same four
bridge interfaces. The nodes can ping through the network, however
after a short time, the system (dom0) crashes as well. This time, it
dies in net_rx_action() at a slightly different place:
Funnily, I cannot reproduce this with 5 nodes (domUs) running. I'm a
bit unsure where to go from here... Maybe I should try a different
machine for further testing.
