Whole kmsg below.
It is a backtrace.
It's a warning in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/xics-common.c:xics_set_cpu_giq(). The firmware
this machine is running on is non standard (Bare Metal Linux in the
lab). The warning itself not an issue. We've had it for years and it
tells us that our firmware/RTAS is not fully implemented.
