You make it go away by forcing intel to fix their CPU bug. The Linux kernel message indicates its handled the problem fine (and to our knowledge will do so for all cases) so its not a life or death situation
I think it's probably time for this message to be removed. At the time it was added, we were still trying to characterize how frequently it occurred and how much impact it had had. Intel *has* fixed this in the Pentium Pro stepping 9, according to the latest Pentium Pro Specification Update.
