[Openstack] Randomly rebooting instances go in kernel panic

Hello,

On Icehouse, I have an environment where instances randomly reboot and 
go in kernel panic.

Nova correctly spawns instances from qcow2 images (Linux 3.0.75 x86_64) 
but, with a non predictable behaviour, libvirtd gets a signal 15 from 
time to time and restart them.

nova.conf:
virt_type=kvm

/var/log/libvirt/qemu/instance-<ID>.log:
qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 38461
2014-10-27 15:05:45.524+0000: shutting down
2014-10-27 15:06:15.337+0000: starting up

No other relevant information from libvirt logs.
There's no external API intervention nor human one.
I inspected and I couldn't find relevant information of crashes or 
problems in any of the Openstack programs logs.

Attached is a crashed instance /var/log/kern.log [1].

Do you have suggestions on how to further troubleshoot such an issue?

Thank you,
Fabrizio
