 For the record: I don't think it relates to a distribution being "recent" 
at all -- the noise happens with my board with recent kernels and does not 
with older ones even though the userland is always the same.  Something 
must have changed within the kernel itself and it may be worth 
investigating what, why and whether it is legitimate.  I fear the change 
may be papering over some bug elsewhere.
