I would consider it a flood, the message continually appears until glxgears is exited. Can you confirm whether 3e163a137be7f9a80ec720903c4bda028de5681f in mesa stops all of the GPU faults? If it does I will open another bug report seeing as it may be different.
Neither glxgears nor Heroes of Newerth produce GPU fault flood since applied fix in mesa. If you are still experiencing a flood when glxgears is running, I'm pretty sure it is not the same thing under the hood. Which makes me think: what kernel version are you using? Did you test with latest mesa version since fix was pushed in git? Which gpu do you have?
I'm running latest kernel from Linus' git, latest mesa git and I'm using an HD 6950.
