smp tainted kernel warning

There is another issue I see in boot logs. Its harmless and doesn't cause panics or anything, but I'd appreciate you taking a look.


Call trace from a kernel with debug:

I don't think this is a grsecurity issue, it's something to do with your kernel configuration/hardware.
