Known races:

 * Sometimes, after running xl destroy, you can find the following
   things left over in xenstore:
      /local/domain/0/device-model/16 = ""   (n0)
      /local/domain/0/device-model/16/command = "shutdown"   (n0)
   This is a race in libxl domain destruction, probably.
   Causes failures in
      test-*-*-xl*  leak-check

 * The XCP 2.6.27 kernel has a bug where it signals a block device
   creation through the udev machinery to userland before the device
   is actually readable.  This results in the initramfs failing to
   find its root filesystem.  Normally this happens during a domU
   startup but I have seen it once or twice in a dom0.
   Causes failures in
     test-*-xcpkern-*         xen-boot
     test-*-xcpkern-{xl,pv}*  guest-start

 * Mysterious occasional guest startup failures.  PV guests for some
   reason don't produce a guest console logfile.  Happens with xend
   and xl and PV and HVM.  Could conceivably be due to some occasional
   network infrastructure problems in the test environment.

Ian.
