Its a warning with says that the task's userspace MSR register has
VSX set but not the VEC or FP.

Were you building the kernel or were you building something else.
Can you paste the command you attempted?

If this is happening with only the recent kernel and working with a previous
kernel, do you happen to know the previous kernel version.
In which case, is there a possibility of doing a git bisect?
