After installing a Phenom II X4 processor (replacing a single core Semperon) I am getting these messages on the console and in dmesg:

The machine *appears* to be running fine. Are these messages something I need to worry about? I am running Xen and kernel 2.6.18-348.3.1.el5xen on the DOM0 (host) VM under CentOS 5.9.
I just popped in the new processor -- should I have changed a BIOS setting or something?
