 From what I recall looking at this a few months ago, it's because of 
some sort of mismatch between the IORT and another ACPI table when the 
system's configured in Monolithic Sub-NUMA mode.

I think it's more pointing out something that's not optimal from a 
configuration perspective than any real error.
