I'm curious if there is any significance to this, which occurs at each
reboot on an SMP system running noapic (sometimes Netscape manages to
produce a hard lockup on the system, sometimes a core dump indicates NS
had signal 7, bus error, in cases where it doesn't lock the system),
2.4.6-pre1 with XFS patches:

Very similar messages seem to occur on a different machine with RH's
2.4.2 kernel, BX chipset, and IO-APIC enabled. The machine this is from
has had this message on earlier kernels as well, none of which had XFS
patches. What is the significance (or consequence) of pages reserved
twice?

I think that the message above doesn't matter with your nescape crash,
When linux kernel boot, it reserve all usable low memory,for example
kernel: BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
kernel: BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
then kernel call find_smp_config to get MP configuration table if your machine
is SMP, and the function will reserve the MP-table at 0xfa000,0xfb000, 0xf4000,
and because these regions were reserved by kernel, so kernel would
print the message, so it doesn't cause any problem on your machine.
