It seems to be quite harmless. On _every_ boot on a machine with a serial
console, I get the following (bleeding edge vger tree):

Adding Swap: 66460k swap-space (priority -1)
Warning: dev (04:40) tty->count(2) != #fd's(3) in release_dev

Red Hat Linux Linux/PPC release 4.2 (Biltmore)
Kernel 2.1.115 on a ppc
