See Vojtech Pavlik's Input Drivers FAQ:

    Problem:
    ~~~~~~~
    
    Kernel reports:

           atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on 
isa0060/serio0).
           atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly.
    
    Solution:
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    Well, the kernel means what it says. XFree86 boldly goes and
    accesses the keyboard controller registers when it starts up. This
    is a bad thing to do, as it can conflict with the kernel using
    these registers at the same time.  The kernel spots this and
    complains, and in most cases is not affected by the problem.
    
    So, unless you are an XFree86 developer and can fix X, ignore this
    message.
