you could probably hide the message by changing /etc/syslog.conf but 
that would also hide other more important kernel messages and fill
your log. 
To get rid of it grep for "Unexpected IRQ" in arch/m68k/mac/ and remove 
the printk.

BTW most printk's, especially in interrupt code should be protected
by a static static counter to ensure they don't cause more harm than
use..
