It is the crux of the matter. This print is a purely informational one, 
absolutely harmless (unless I'm mistaken) and clogs kernel  logs 
throughout the universe :)

Seriously, other kernel prints are usually not so harmless and are 
generally more important to see.  Let me  put it another way, except 
this print, I have no other prints whatsoever on any of my machines and 
if there are prints, I usually do want to know about them, I learned to 
ignore this print over the years.   I believe many people are in the 
same boat.

That's my opinion, anyway.

Thanks
