We've seen this exact issue on 5.3 and 5.4 in the same scenario (KVM
VM) and I was actually going to pose the same question you did after
testing 5.5 later today. Our VMs are running as routers in an
openstack cluster and it appeared to us that it was a lack of activity
that caused the network failures because the moment I put some
monitoring in place (which simply runs a ping from inside the VM at a
regular interval), the problem seems to have gone away. That's
obviously not a great solution...
