Re: Xen 4.6.6-9 (with XPTI meltdown mitigation) packages making their way to centos-virt-xen-testing

Just a heads up that I'm seeing major stability problems on these builds.
Didn't have  console capture setup unfortunately, but have seen my test

This is with xpti being used, rather than the shim.

Cheers,
Nathan
