Once I kill radeontop these messages stop appearing in the log.

PS: I tried searching what actually these messages mean but I failed. So I have no idea if they are important or not...

NOTE: Let's put this one onhold as I don't see these messages anymore after a reboot. I will do some investigation and get back here.
