Which is an -rt kernel and very likely totally unrelated.

No, the warning says you try to get the current cpu number when the code
in question is in no way tied to a particular cpu, therefore the cpu
number obtained is totally useless.

Most likely not.

Look at your particular source-tree and try to fine the
smp_processor_id() call that triggers this, then look what it needs the
cpu number for and fix the code so that it makes sense ;-)
