Their first appearance followed an MB battery change.  Nothing seemed broken, 
and I
took little notice.   But now I see the date 20170119, which implies something 
in
software.  google found

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/1232, 'PCI IRQ allocation broken' - with
undesirable effects.

That's linked to

https://bugzillakernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195319

which is marked as a duplicate of BZ 195311 and closed.

I don't believe the date you are seeing is indicative of anything being wrong.

As a matter of fact, if you do a google search on nsarguments-189 or dsfield-211
you'll come up with a large number of finds such as this one
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2199573  which has an entry dated 
January
17th, 2014 and a reference to 20131115/nsarguments-95.  So, I suspect the date 
in
these messages are pointing to the date the module's code was last modified.


Thanks, Ed. Yes, I have seen much earlier reports similar to the first line I quoted, which wasn't the focus of another recent thread here. And I think I shall put Heinz's suggestion of compiling a vanilla kernel on hold :-)
