Well, yes, psm_install() in usr/src/uts/i86pc/os/mp_implfuncs.c
could print the warning with a first character of "!" so that it
goes only to the system log.

   424                  err = 
mod_remove_by_name(cswp->psw_infop->p_mach_idstring);
   425                  if (err)
   426                          cmn_err(CE_WARN, "%s: mod_remove_by_name failed 
%d",
   427                              &machstring[0], err);


I think we get this message on uppc systems since the putback for 
6714111 "Solaris needs to support the Intel IOMMU"
The putback for this feature added a dependency on mach/pcplusmp
to the rootnex kernel module, so that pcplusmp is forced into memory
now on all systems.
