Not sure what to has to do with your system, but I read somewhere that
it is related to how the original interrupt controllers worked. If a
card signalled an interrupt but then withdrew it before the host
processor got around to reading the interrupt register, it would
register as IRQ7.

The kernel here is just pointing out that it got an IRQ7 but wasn't
expecting it and it has now disabled it. If a module wants it it needs
to register it.

It's a harmless message...

I'm fairly sure that IO-APIC only systems don't have this problem.
