Only noticed now, but this is a known Xen bug[1] and was already
mentioned here[2]. James Bromberger suggested exactly this
approach[3], which seems to be adopted by CoreOS with success[4][5].
This was proposed at the "debian-kernel" mailing list[6] as well. Ian
Campbell looks a little bit skeptical of compiling it as a module[7].
I'm not sure how things work at the Debian Kernel team, because they
have to deal with a lot of use cases, taking care not to break
anything. Can you talk to them to look at this possibility again?

You're welcome.

This is another thing we're already talking about[8]. :-)
