The guest was configured with 2GB of memory.  In these particular tests we are 
scaling up the VCPU count and as we do that we add memory as well.  The 1way 
test used 512MB and the 2way used 1GB.

Once I was able to recover my environment from this crash I discovered that 
the problem is not occurring during the test run but during launch of the 
domain.  I find this curious because before I launched the tests I 
successfully booted and then cleanly shutdown the hvm domain with 1, 2, 4, 8, 
and 16 VCPUs.  However, I did not scale the memory in that small functional 
test.  I am going to investigate and see if I can more clearly define that 
the amount of memory is the issue and what the breaking point is.
