This seems to be a good reason.
As a work-around, you may #if 0 the rbs array because it is not yet used.
After a look the structure is allocated on the stack at two places: when a
vcpu is started (PV and VTi). Do you confirm ?
Because this is not performance critical, we can xmalloc it in these cases.
Tristan.
