NOTE: Adding the SELinux list to the CC line

Hi,

I'm trying to understand this and I was hoping you could you clarify a
few things for me:

* Is the panic in the Ubuntu 12.04 guest, or the host? If the host,
could you share what distribution you are using?
* When you say you are not using SELinux, could you be more specific?
It seems odd that you are not using SELinux but the panic is happening
in a SELinux hook.

Thanks.
