[PATCH] max_refcount too low for starting debug messages

[PATCH] max_refcount too low for starting debug messages

[Thomas Renninger]

Some big equipped IA64 machines might show large ref count messages.

I increased ACPI_MAX_REFERENCE_COUNT and hid the message as debug.
Feel free to only hide msg, only increase reference count or both ..., not sure which
one is best, but at least one thing should be done ...

[Moore, Robert]

I would rather bump up the default value rather than change the message
to debug, since this check is very useful for catching objects that have
been prematurely deleted.
