SubjectKVM VM shutdown triggers BUG from network bridge code in 3.9.9
I've run into a problem after updating to Fedora 19 where if I shut down 
a Windows 7 KVM virtual machine, the machine hits a kernel panic. There
are a few reports of this on 3.9.8 and 3.9.9 kernels here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981437

The panic is "kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:729!" and the stack traces
all seem basically the same, something like this one (captured with kdump):

It seems like the error is being triggered by the virtual network
interface being torn down, though I have no idea why (from all reports
so far) it only happens when shutting down a Windows 7 VM, or why this
didn't happen in Fedora 18 (something to do with older kvm/qemu/libvirt
perhaps..)
