No, this is a completely unrelated warning. There's something wrong in
the acpi code, the compiler warns about it since 2.6.17 (it was already
wrong before, but the compiler wasn't taught to detect the mistake
until recently.

So, Daan, you can ignore that warning safely. You would have the same
warning without the patch. I have the warning too for quite some times
now and nothing bad happened ;) Let's just hope the acpi people
eventually show up and fix it, so that people stop being frightened!
