ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The XSA-45/CVE-2013-1918 patch making error handling paths preemptible broke page reference counting by not retaining a reference on pages stored for deferred cleanup. This would lead to the hypervisor prematurely attempting to free the page, generally crashing upon finding the page still in use.
