The kernel has little information on what is what. For device it knows
the major number of the is requested. Now most of this is documented and
the latest modules-2.0.0 have most aliases done.
the second IDE interface is not a module and currently can't be setup
indenpendantly from ide0, so I guess this message will stay. You can do
alias block-major-22 off
to disable the message.
For binfmt, the same happen. Something is executable and the kernel does
not know how. It pick the first 2 bytes of the file and use that as the
magic word. It builds the string "binfmt-magic" and throw this to kerneld.
binfmt-0 is as far as I know, nothing. I guess one data file has been
chmod to executable and you are trying to execute it, with the given
result.
