I don't thin Xen version 32 will be compatible ...

It had better be; if it loads the kernel, it should present a xen-3
compatible ABI.

If xen-32.0 should be compatible than wouldn't xen-24.0 be compatible too? I think the point was that you should either be checking for 'xen-3.x' or something more general that would accept anything >= xen-3.0.

But this is just a sanity check to make sure things are basically OK;
BUG_ON is hardly nice error reporting (not that there's much else we can
do at that point).
