This just means that the kernel detected a new file in a watched
directory, and tries to load it as a driver (before realizing that this
is a directory).
The message is misleading, though, and this shouldn't even be tried for
directories.

While the /boot/home/config/ kernel drivers will be faded out (probably
even for R1), and replaced by /boot/common/, this is definitely a bug
that deserves to be fixed.
