Subject: bnx2 is spamming dmesg

Hello All,
  For the last couple of months (since at least 2.6.35 somewhere) I have
been seeing 

"
....
[698612.423825] Device 0000:0b:00.0 unmapping: pfn ffc74-ffc74
[698612.423831] Device 0000:0b:00.0 unmapping: pfn ff96d-ff96d
[698612.639262] Device 0000:0b:00.0 unmapping: pfn ffc74-ffc74
[698612.639269] Device 0000:0b:00.0 unmapping: pfn ff96d-ff96d
....
"
in my dmesg output.  

"
 lspci -s 0000:0b:00.0
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
"

The bnx2 driver is loaded on my system.  I am presently on 2.6.36-rc3
kernels but like I mentioned I have been seeing this for a while.


Any ideas? I would rather not have this endless message in my kernel
logs. 


Thanks,
