Magma is not depending upon these classes at all. It simply provides 
some methods for serializing these classes.

If you have not got those classes in the image then you dont need the 
methods for serializing them. If those classes are not present, simply 
load magma anyway, ignoring the warnings. It is rather silly for the 
Kernel Image Compatability Layer to provide these classes as dummies, 
but I seem to remember that the KernelImage doesnt have any facilities 
for handling exceptions gracefully
