Hm.  I just upgraded one of our heavy-kvm-usage host from 3.10 to 3.16,
and it started showing these messages (hence I started searching and
found this thread from 2013).

Has it not been decided to downgrade this message to KERN_DEBUG for some
reason?

What does this message mean anyway?
Why this very rare case (according to comments in arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c)
happens on this machine?

Thanks,
