Public bug reported:

When updating the kernel today to 3.11.0-4-generic I saw the same
warning messages I saw when I upgraded to 3.11.0-3-generic

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-4-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_sdma.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_rlc.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_mec.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_ce.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_me.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_pfp.bin for module radeon

Further digging found bug 1183777

As mentioned in that bug, I did contact the named person:

"Hi,

I'm still seeing the errors for
KAVERI firmwares
being missing in the latest kernel :
phillw@piglet:~$ uname -a
Linux piglet 3.11.0-3-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 23 16:49:15 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As the 1st Beta is creeping up fast, do you need this raising as a new
bug?
Regards,
Phill."

The reply is:

"As far as I can tell, the KAVERI firmware (and hardware) is not
publicly available yet, so that's not a bug with the linux-firmware
package. If you want to file a new bug about the warning messages,
please file it against the linux (kernel) package. Until the firmware is
available, I'm not really sure what the fix for that would be, other
than removing/commenting out the relevant Kaveri lines in the radeon
kernel code."
