Whilst I am usually happy to see helpful warning message. I don't want 
to see a warning message when the behavior is actually valid.
There is no way to know whether the device tree has been crafted by the 
developer or generated by the firmware.
So the only solution is to update the documentation about the 
device-tree bindings and hope that people will read the doc starting to 
boot Xen.
