kernel.log

When booting my Arch Linux installation, I've been getting this error in the kernel log since v.3.2:

Feb 17 22:14:27 localhost kernel: [    6.099400] watchdog: INTCAMT: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16).
Feb 17 22:14:27 localhost kernel: [    6.099470] watchdog: error registering /dev/watchdog (err=-16).
Feb 17 22:14:27 localhost kernel: [    6.099522] mei: unable to register watchdog device.

It's been discussed in the Arch Forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133083

Disabling the mei module will get rid of this error. It's a small thing, but annoying to have do disable modules I think.

Is this a bug or an issue relating to the way Arch's kernel is configured?
