Abnormal message being the key related one? We are looking into but this 
does not in any way change behavior.

As for the warning for kvm/btrfs/ext4. Nothing to worry about you simply

A quick check is the one you probably did: lttng list -k. You can also 
run the root_regression tests from lttng-tools. Under ./tests you can 
run ./run.sh root_regression while being root.
