:What is the implication of this warning?

:My guess is just that world+vkernel+kernel need to be rebuilt &
:resynched - but I'm not 100%

I undid that one. Jordan originally changed the vpagetable feature
to use 64 bit page table entries on both x86_64 and i386. This broke
i386 in more ways than one (the lack of atomic ops on 64 bit pte's,
for example), so I changed it to use 'long' which is 32 bits on i386
and 64 bits on amd64. That means the i386 code remains compatible
with older vkernels.
