I just tested staging-4.5 plus your backport of these patches (i.e.,
the two commits that you have then reverted), and I haven't seen
this... how can it that be?

In fact, I'd say that as far as I can see, the same that I said about
backporting to 4.6, does the trick for 4.5 as well:

https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/msg01673.html

I've double checked that I am using the proper tree and code, and it
looks like I do.

Can (anyone of) you have a go with that?

If I'm right, and "just" avoiding to call insert_vcpu() for idle vcpu
is enough, the question about what's the best path is the same as fo
4.6.

Regards,
Dario
