If you mean the "bogus intr", you're probably OK with that.  I suspect
that there's something funny with the interrupt handling, so we're
seeing two interrupts when we should be seeing one--the second gets
the bogus intr message.

I don't have the time to go digging for this, though.

If you look back at the 2.1 dmesg, you had one of those messages there.

In general, apply patches by cd'ing to the appropriate directory
and running "patch < patchfile".

For this one, you can just make the code at line 559 of
src/sys/dev/pci/pdcide.c look like:
========================================================================
                if (crv == 0) 
{
#if 0
                        printf("%s:%d: bogus intr\n",
                            sc->sc_wdcdev.sc_atac.atac_dev.dv_xname, i);
#endif
}
                else                
                        rv = 1;
========================================================================

The counter was just to see if we hit it a lot or not.
