Re: [Xen-devel] d0 Error pfn 100

[Keir Fraser <keir@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a harmless message printed at loglevel XENLOG_INFO. Not much we can
do about it (apart from remove the message or reduce its loglevel further).
It is caused by yast doing some kind of scan of low memory, which we
disallow above physical address 1MB (there'll be nothing of interest at 1MB
or above anyway).
