Funny thing. 'pms_enable' comes from the PS/2 driver trying to
probe for a PS/2 mouse.

Apparently you do not have a (working) PS/2 interface which causes
these messages. These probes also needs time and maybe that interferes
with the iwm driver.

You can try to disable the PS/2 driver to avoid the errors,
but this doesn't mean that this solves the iwm problem.

You can put
  
userconf=disable pckbc*
userconf=disable pckbd*
userconf=disable pms*

into /boot.cfg to disable PS/2 controller, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse.
