Package: xen-linux-system-4.8.0-2-amd64 Version: 4.8.15-2 Severity: normal When I boot my system with Xen, I get the following section in dmesg:

But when I boot my system 'normally', ie without Xen, the error does not show up. In https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-01/msg02315.html I mentioned this too, but figured this specific item is more debian kernel related then Xen. Full dmesg output of both with and without Xen is attached to that message to xen-devel. I'll gladly provide more info, just tell me what you need and how to obtain it. I installed the debug package for the kernel, but that didn't seem to affect the above stacktrace.
