It was this one:

  [PATCH] 3c59x irqreturn fix
  
  Apparently boomerang_interrupt() is generating lots of "nobody cared"
  warnings - one per packet it seems.  Frankly, I don't have a clue why.
  
  These are ancient cards and the driver is otherwise stable, so just
  change it to return IRQ_HANDLED and move on...
