This is correct.  Please see the thread marked "cbmem console broken on 
Intel hardware since ec5e5e0" for additional information on the 
regression in coreboot itself.

If the community would like me to stop sending these notifications I 
will do so; I could also adjust the maximum frequency if desired.  As 
stated this is intended to be a service so that broken boards are 
detected and repaired; perhaps there should be an alternate way of 
reporting the test failure (e.g. the board status repository could be 
modified to store failed tests as well as successful ones?)
