	So far, I've only run into the one kernel panic with
2.6.27-aivazovsky.1, but that's pretty serious, in the IPv6 firewall
connection tracking.  I've had relatively poor results pulling from git
and building from there, but I wouldn't expect it to be totally stable
or even up to development release.

	The whole audit subsystem seems to be a morass ATM.  They have the
whole CONFIG_AUDIT subsystem turned off by default (it's enabled in
Fedora for several cycles) and it results in a lot of bitching in the
VE0 and the VM's.  Enabling it and rebuilding the kernel cleans up the
host engine but the VM's are still noisy but I haven't looked further
into that one.
