@Boris Derzhavets

Device /dev/xen/evtchn is at the moment loaded by udevd here as well. I have this code back from some previous attempts when it did not work (maybe RELEASE-4.0.0). However the other device mentioned in docs /dev/xen/gntdev is still missing here (Ubuntu 9.10 karmic, kernel compiled with CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV=y CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=y). I know I could create it manually but I want it as designed. Everything seems to work even without this /dev/xen/gntdev.
I will probably remove this module loading from init.d/xend as soon as devices are actually created by udevd here.

I have no such warnings at the moment. Only this ... I hope it's not dangerous.
