Subject: vhost_dev_cleanup() crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
 dereference


FYI, there's a new crash in the vnet driver that occasionally triggers 
on ordinary host bootups as well, when (non-virtualized) networking 
initializes:

See the full crashlog below. Config attached.

AFAICT this bug probably went upstream during the merge window.

Thanks,
