Hello; I'm receiving the same thing, I received a response and it
seems that isn't a problem? "I dont know"
But if you're like me  "maticulous"; things like that will bug me all day long.
besides that, are you receiving any freezes at all?, I'm unable to use
that kernel due to the freezes that it's giving me.?
regards;
