You're comparing against Fedora kernels, which often contain patches which haven't got into mainline yet. As in this case. Unless it used to be assembled from separate pieces, there was no "GPE storm detected" message in 2.6.24.N or 2.6.25.N: it was added in 2.6.26-rc1. I sometimes see it too, on a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop.
