2.6.32.19 has a known issue relating to the new stack guard page which
has prompted a quick 2.6.32.20-rc1 with only a couple of patches.

The issue is supposedly PAE and/or HIGHPTE specific but I wonder if it
also has an impact under Xen in other configurations?

The save/restore issue we are seeing seems to relate to an inability to
lock memory for a hypercall and d7824370e26325c881b665350ce64fb0a4fde24a
(the second fix in 2.6.32.20-rc) specifically mentions fixing up a
user-visible mlock change relating to mlock.

I'll try and confirm that, if I can ever manage to get a consistent
repro.

Ian.
