The errors have disappeared !!

Here are the things I tried (i had been googling for so long i guess)

Suggestion 1: adding boot option "irqpoll"
Result: No effect

Suggestion 2: Check BIOS software with intel's (firmwarekit-r1.iso) linux
Result: No effect, 1 lousy warning, No Errors.

Suggestion 3: Related to Broadcom h/w
(no idea how to use that info)

My H/W was Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, BIOS version was 1.3,
I saw 2 updates available for A120 Series
1 update for PSAE0
1 update for PSAE1

I didn't know which model i had, PSAE0 or PSAE1
I used the BIOS UPDATE for PSAE1
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/bios/tecra/a8/pta83/win/bios-330win.zip
updated the BIOS from windows.

Now i haven't received these errors yet !

will report back if problem persists,
I guess Toshiba BIOS drivers for windows worked around the BIOS bugs,
Linux did not have such luxury !
