I would not be much concerned about this. It says that the linux
driver inside gnumach (mis)detected the ide interface in qemu as an
old and buggy chip.
It only says it disables readahed feature on the interface. Since the
interface is completely emulated this feature is useless anyway. The
readahead on your real disk should still work, and it also applies to
the qemu disk image.
