RE: [PATCH] ia64: default the NUMA node distance when there is no ACPI SLIT

+ printk(KERN_INFO "Building NUMA distance from ACPI 2.0 SLIT\n");

This printk just looks like noise during boot. Surely this
is normal behavior on a NUMA system?

+ printk(KERN_INFO "No SLIT table, defaulting NUMA distance\n");

But this one deserves more prominence than just KERN_INFO. I'd
say that it deserves a KERN_ERR rating (without accurate information
we'll make some highly questionable scheduling and memory placement
decisions). On the other hand the only way for the end-user to fix
this is to complain to their system vendor to fix firmware. So perhaps
it is just a KERN_NOTICE.
