Yes, I was getting the same errors/warnings; it finally annoyed me so much that I recompiled the kernel without NBD support, since I couldn't find any suggestion that I actually needed it, and all was well after that. Certainly I didn't find that anything which had been working got broke due to the removal-- but that wasn't a big surprise, since the errors/warnings suggested that a function was being probed that did not exist anyway (so I wasn't actually using NBD in the first place, which was what it seemed to be complaining about).
