问题说明：
用DEll R720服务器安装xen，kvm服务。创建好guest并启动，进入系统，系统运行都没问题，不过开机的时候发现一个failed提示，如下
Xen DomU启动中提示
# dmesg | grep PCI

因为这个问题查资料已经有半个月时间，各种谷歌搜，加入虚拟化群问，找不到答案，因为不影响使用，也曾多次纠结放弃查找问题，不过这块石头一直在心里放不下

直到刚看到红帽官方的文档，终于眼前一亮
kernel component
Typically, on platforms with no Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) hardware the user can see the following message the on the boot console and in dmesg log:
Could not set up I/O space
This message can be safely ignored, unless the system really does have IPMI hardware. In that case, the message indicates that the IPMI hardware could not be initialized. In order to support Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) opregion access to IPMI functionality early in the boot, the IPMI driver has been statically linked with the kernel image. This means that the IPMI driver is "loaded" whether or not there is any hardware. The IPMI driver will try to initialize the IPMI hardware, but if there is no IPMI hardware present on the booting platform, the driver will print error messages on the console and in the dmesg log. Some of these error messages do not identify themselves as having been issued by the IPMI driver, so they can appear to be serious, when they are harmless.
