We have seen a series of messages when running xm-test lately on a SLES 
9 SP2 32-bit box with 4GB of RAM, PAE enabled Xen build. I don't know 
whether this defect of just an informational message.

Running xm-test suite on PAE enabled build on SLES 9 SP2 box with 4GB of ram
causes a series of messages to show. The messages do not appear in any 
of the
other machines running the same workload, including those running with 
SLES 9 SP2.

Hardware: IBM xSeries 335, 4GB of RAM
Software: PAE enabled Xen build on SLES 9 SP2 platform, changeset 8571.
