The full serial console output is at the provided link. I did some tracing myself and the problem seems to be happening at the list_add call in __balloon_append called from balloon_init in drivers/xen/ballon.c. This is with a kernel I built today (at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2550132 ) with the latest stable-2.6.32.x , the 170.1 kernel was built on Thursday (21st Oct) and 170 on 6th October and would have used stable-2.6.32.x at those dates.
