It's harmless. The Director application must be doing weird things with 
its LDT (Local Descriptor Table), using large-numbered selectors. 
Usually, if an app uses the LDT at all it needs only quite a small one 
and will allocate selectors within it from zero upwards. Selector 
numbers 0xff3c/0xff8c are at the very upper limit of the table.
If you want to avoid the message you need to build Xen itself with 
'verbose=n' -- you can do this by editing Xen/Rules.mk.
Probably those messages should be quietened down anyway...
