Last night, I ran six VM's using -rc4 with and without KASAN; without
Kasan, half of them hung.  With KASAN enabled, all of the test VM's
ran to completion.

This strongly suggests whatever the problem is, it's timing related.
I'll run a larger set of test runs to see if this pattern is confirmed
today.

Here is the configs I'm using, with and without KASAN.  (With KASAN is
enabled is sent as a diff to avoid running into LKML's e-mail size
restrictrions.)
