That is great to hear... looking forward for some more info and logs on
the subject.

Yep, this is definitely an upstream issue, and we definitely should
talk on upstream MLs. It would be useful, though, to have a bug opened
for it for better tracking (see below).

In general, fixes are applied (backported). Whatever the fix for this
would be to really revert to "sched=credit" or some actual changes to
Credit2 (or whatever else), I think you can expect for it to be
backported to any supported distribution.

Actually, thank you again for reporting the problem and for you will to
help us find the solution.

As I mentioned above, would you be willing to open a bug, on 
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/ about this? It is indeed something we'll
deal with upstream, but I think it would still be useful.

In the description of the problem, you can mention the fact that the
problem is being investigated and link the threads on the xen-devel and
xen-users mailing lists.

Thanks and Regards
