I've seen that pair of messages in a lot of system logs over the last couple of years. Mostly Intel/AMD of course, just because of the absolute number of systems out there. Most systems I've looked at only had it one or two times in the logs, not every hour. In every case, the minor number is +1 from the last actually used minor number. It doesn't seem to cause any problems that I can see, but it is irksome.
