Just FYI: GeForce 7800 GT on a PowerMac Quad-core G5 with a 2560x1440 display: [mi] EQ overflowing

FYI: The GeForce 7800 GT on a PowerMac Quad-core G5 with a 2560x1440 display (ADC with converter to DVI) reports the following

[mi] EQ overflowing.  Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed.
[mi] These backtraces from mieqEnqueue may point to a culprit higher up the stack.
[mi] mieq is *NOT* the cause.  It is a victim.
[mi] Increasing EQ size to 512 to prevent dropped events.
[mi] EQ processing has resumed after 51 dropped events.
[mi] This may be caused my a misbehaving driver monopolizing the server's resources.

Context:

I built a 10.1-PRERELEASE r271215 (to test Justin Hibbits' changes for powerpc). I also used portsnap and then rebuilt my ports from scratch.

FreeBSD FBSDG4S0 10.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #0 r271215: Sat Sep  6 23:56:15 PDT 2014     root at FBSDG4S0:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  powerpc

(I'd be surprised if this was powerpc or PowerMac specific. But use of these old cards may be more likely for PCI-Express PowerMacs.)
