I just started up a kernel built from sources supped May 11 and I see the same thing. 
I think this started at least a few days ago, possibly a week or so, but I didn't note the date because I'm more or less happily using the kernel with the grf driver so I can enjoy the wonderful fvwm default colors. 
I think the introduction of the obio approach was very close to the time that the failure to probe started to appear.
