Some of these are undoubtedly from the atl1 driver, and many of those
from that driver are probably from me personally as I've poked around
trying to isolate the cause.  I sent a patch yesterday to Alexey
Dobriyan (who's also been experiencing it) that seems to quash the
warnings, so hopefully we're near resolution.  On my own development
system I recently turned off kerneloops, so at least *my* contribution
to the list will diminish.  :)
