Yeah, the driver wasn't changed about this.

Basically it's a warning message that CPU usage got higher due to
somehow wrongly behaving hardware.  The driver behavior itself didn't
do anything wrong.  That is, if the driver didn't show it, you
wouldn't have noticed any change (or noticed improvements in some apps
:)

Of course, it would be ideal if we can add a perfect workaround for
it, but right now, I have no idea what to do better.  So, I don't
think it's worth to keeping this open as a regression.

thanks,

Takashi
