KVM/networking-related crash
A patch has been submitted upstream, and this should be fixed with
the next kernel update.

SIGTRAP leakage between separate virtual machines
Patches have been posted for this, and a resolution is coming soon.
This requires kernel patches, so timeframe coinsides with the 2.6.32
update for F12.

almost 9 thousand syscalls per second while idle
This is believed to be a result of the USB Tablet device, but several
users have noticed high host CPU usage while guests were idle.

Segfaults logged from kvm (qemu-kvm) resulting in guest sudden crash
and data loss
A number of users complaining of guests crashing and sometimes taking
the host with them. This appears to be related to sound emulation.
We are waiting for feedback from virt-preview users.
