Hi Sami,

Thank you for pointing to that patch. It pretty much does the same thing
and I would be OK with using it instead of these changes here. Except
that the message only shows up in debug mode and seems to depend on the
debug mask. It would be nice if it would show up all the time.

We are building ArmVirt in debug, but with
DEBUG_PRINT_ERROR_LEVEL=0x80000000, aka a "silent" debug build, and need
the message there too.

What was proposed in this series prints the message independently of the
debug mask.

Regards,
 Oliver
