ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0) r0xj0

Hi,

My system is gigabyte ds3 motherboard with onboard SATA JMicron
20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02), drive connected is WDC
WD740ADFD-00 20.0, I am running 2.6.18.6 32 bit, under heavy i/o I get
the following messaegs:

ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)
ata1: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x8 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x0)

Is this condition dangerous?

I plan to upgrade to 2.6.19 soon as I have problems with a sata dvd
writer but I have to wait for a driver that I need to catch up, this
system cannot be down for long as it runs mythtv.
