A test case which generates memory pressure while performing guest administration fails with vhost triggering "page allocation failure" and guest not starting up.
After some analysis we discovered the allocation order of vhost to be rensponsible for this behaviour. Thus we suggest patch 1/1 which dynamically allocates the required memory. Please see its description for details.
