I believe the reference is a bit more subtle than something like usurping the warrens.
K'rulls warrens are grounded in earth, through Burn, and the power runs through his veins.
Icariums machines were burried in the earth and he used his blood to power them up.
Of course there must be more to it, the question is what. I believe there was some reference to the machines taking thought or affecting minds, thus suggesting that he was trying to fix his head and may have gotten a whole lot more in the bargain. That is, if he didn't completely FUBAR himself with the ancient, seemingly broken machinery.

As I said in the now-very-similar TtH thread, Iccy slashing his wrists connects to K'rul making the warrens (via a series of visions by Lady Envy in MoI). That, plus the machines draining peoples minds like Apt said, plus the whole part where Iccy can't remember stuff means it's probably intended to make some sort of warren of time or memories using the consumed people as a basis.
Of course, the machine is broken...

The assumptions here are that Iccy's machines were meant to "steal"/"drain" peoples minds. I disagree. I think the assumption was to find his own memories and that the machine being broken it in fact returned far more than it was originally intended to return. Meaning, I think Icarium is still going to regain his own memories, but know that he blew others in so doing.
