A problem was found when creating KMP that includes the driver that uses the "pci_enable_msi/
pci_disable_msi" function for the Xen kernel and applying it, error messages are printed out and
KMP cannot be applied. This problem occurred on both i386 and x86_64 architectures.
This update addresses this problem and these error messages no longer appear.
