Subject: 2.6.29.1 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
 (null) -> Oops

This system is running as a kvm-85 guest.

When this happened, IO and CPU load were bigger than usually.

The system is still running and I have some sysstat (sar) statistics for it, 
if anyone has some ideas about it.
