Subject: WARNING: at block/genhd.c:1465

During bootup of 3.3.0-rc4 on this PowerPC machine (G4, 32bit), the 
WARNING below is printed. This did not happen with -rc2, and I skipped 
-rc3, so I don't know if it happend there.

According to the gitlog, there haven't been any changes to block/genhd.c 
lateley, and that's the place where "__disk_unblock_events" appears. But 
"blkdev_get" shows up in block/ioctl.c, where a few changes have been 
made.

Full dmesg & .config: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/3.3.0-rc4/

Is this something to worry about?

Thanks,
C.
