What does this mean?  Is it serious?  It seems that I can only
reproduce this if I have IBM Director installed on the blade, so it

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...
