That's somewhat suspicious: Are you saying that even back then you
already relied on nested virtualization (in order for KVM to work in a
guest)?

Please be less vague for us to understand why you refer to. In
particular we'd need to know whether you carried any patches in
a private build of yours, which of course we can't really offer any
help with.

Whether the issue belongs here or on xen-devel (or xen-users)
depends on what you expect, and by how much you're willing to
help narrowing this down: From upstream's perspective, openSUSE
and the Xen version it uses are of course only of secondary
interest. It would be most interesting to know whether the
-unstable tree (soon to become 4.5-rc) also exhibits the problem.
The next best thing to try would be plain upstream 4.3.3 (or
4.4.1).

Considering that you only recently switched, I suppose you don't
really know whether this is a regression that got introduced during
the lifetime of 13.1 (i.e. by one of the updates)?

I'll have to go through the dumped state in detail to see whether I
can spot what caused the VM entry failure. That'll take some more
time.
