When a guest vNIC is created over the iether interface, the iether driver holds lock too
long during AVIO packet processing. This causes an HPVM host panic.
QXCR1001075909
When a guest vNIC is created over the iether interface, the iether driver receives packets
from AVIO guest and handles reset request from the AVIO guest simultaneously. Due to a
QXCR1001075915
problem in the locking mechanism, interface pointers can be reset to null, which causes an
HPVM host panic.
When a guest vNIC is created over the iether interface, HPVM guests with AVIO networking
receive duplicate multicast and broadcast packets from host.
