It means that it's decided your drive isn't capable of taking so many
tags.  It's a normal side-effect of CAM's ability to "throttle back"
as necessary since the abilities of many drives often don't match what
they claim to be able to do.

Relax and ignore it. :)

Maybe it should be made part of bootverbose now since I have seen
several messages about this from users needlessly freaking out about
the message.  I happen to like the message since it tells me which
drives to perhaps avoid in the future if it drops to a really low
number, but I can see how it would make other people scream and run to
the tech support lines.
