Stemming a flood of kernel warnings

Starting around when kernel 3.4.x came out for FC16, I started getting 
frequent ABRT reports for this kernel warning:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854070

As I note in the bug, a new report is generated every time I log off or 
resume the laptop from suspend. Sometimes ABRT notices that the incident 
is a duplicate, but usually it decides that it's a new incident and 
dutifully informs me via the ABRT applet's warning light icon. Frankly, 
it's gotten rather tiresome to see that icon pop up nearly every time I 
log on or resume from suspend. For now I've disabled the ABRT applet in 
XFCE4's auto start list but that's obviously not a great solution.

Is there any possible way I could configure ABRT to stop nagging me about 
this particular bug? Note this "bug" is really just a WARN()/assertion in 
a kernel module (i915). Other than the annoyance caused by the frequent 
bug reports, it causes no visible harm to the function of my system.

Thanks,
Dave
