I'd have to install 3.0 on my -STABLE workstation to test this.  It may be
that the message was hidden behind bootverbose since it doesn't mean
anything and there's nothing you can do about it.  My workstation spits
out an IRQ 7 each time the serial port is closed.  Wacky, eh?  I have a
ASUS T2P4 board.
