  == Comment: #2 - VASANT HEGDE <hegdevasant@xxxxxxxxxx> -  ==
  Below upstream patch fixes this issue..I believe this will apply cleanly on top of Ubuntu 14.04.04 kernel.

  
  commit b4af279a7cba5cc1f665485e8ecdf272f1ba0cc5

      powerpc/pseries: Limit EPOW reset event warnings
      
      Kernel prints respective warnings about various EPOW events for
      user information/action after parsing EPOW interrupts. At times
      below EPOW reset event warning is seen to be flooding kernel log
      over a period of time.
