Subject: Re: How can i know if I/OAT is supported?

I noticed the following message in the /var/log/messages when loading
this module:
Jun 16 18:00:34 slab001 kernel: kobject_add failed for ioatdma with
-EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same
directory

I guess that something is wrong (the module is alread loaded or was
compiled as part of the kernel)

Thanks
