It's annoying but harmless.
copy_mount_options() in fs/super.c:
...
        size = TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data;
        if (size > PAGE_SIZE)
                size = PAGE_SIZE;

        i = size - copy_from_user((void *)page, data, size);
...
Usually it tries to copy PAGE_SIZE bytes while much less are available.
x86 folks don't print anything on exception, so they don't care ;-)

I don't think it's related. Most test1-ac kernels worked fine for me.
