That message can be just removed I think. I don't see much value in it
because the value is in sysfs and when you see the CPU type you can easily
determine it anyways.

I don't think the patch below really solves the problem because they
would have the same noise problem back once they switch from the simulator
to a real box which has banks.

Can be made INFO yes, but I would prefer not removing them
from the dmesg for now.

Perhaps they could be also compressed a bit like SRAT.
