Subject: don't bother users with unimportant messages.
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2006 20:09:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060219010910.GA18841@redhat.com> (raw)

When users see these printed to the console, they think
something is wrong.  As it's just informational and something
that only developers care about, lower the printk level.
