Maybe this is a long shot, but..

I had this problem immediately after I recompiled a kernel.  I had
accidentally turned off "Generic PCI IDE chipset support" and "Use PCI DMA
by default when available" (under IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices in
menuconfig).  

After turning that back on, the warning went away, and no hdparm required.
