Nothing to worry about.  It means that there are more devices that couldn't be 
fit into the available space for the name.  A + means there is one more 
device on this IRQ and there wasn't enough room for its name.  A * means 
there are 2 or more devices on this IRQ and there wasn't enough room for 
their names.
