On a debug and/or verbose build of the hypervisor any domain can log
here, and pvops Linux with earlyprintk=xen and/or xen_raw_printk will do
so - it's quite useful for debugging early start of day issues in guest
kernels. Although I suppose we can always comment out the check locally
when doing such debugging.

It occurs to me now that perhaps this should be handled more like the
HVM port e9 stuff (i.e. with rate limiting etc) anyway.
