L4Linux will not work but the system would still run.

My guess is that ISCSI_IBFT_FIND is enabled. This option causes scans
through physical memory, and the conversion functions in L4Linux are
built in a conservative way because if something goes wrong this can
lead to very subtle issues.
If my guess is wrong you should get a backtrace when you enable
earlyprintk on the kernel command line (i.e. it's already there but not
printed (yet)).

Adding allow_cli as an option flag to the loader script will give
L4Linux all I/O rights and make the message go away.
