This patch tidies up those annoying kernel messages. A typical kernel boot now looks like this:

 See? Much nicer. This patch saves about 375k on my laptop config and
 nearly 100k on minimal configs.


heh. Please take a look at http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0004.2/0709.html, see if Graham did anything which you missed.

He's got a bunch of stuff that's not strictly related in there and stuff I've already dealt with (vprintk and the like) and stuff that's still forthcoming (panic tweaks, etc.). I also leave in all the APIs like dmesg, they just no longer do anything.

Looking at your other patches, I'm assuming that this is just another April 1st type of patch. Is it?

Arg! I'm too tired. I took another look at your other patches and they look more legit now. On first glance, I thought you were just bluntly removing BUGs and error messages to quiet things down. But after taking another look, I see that they are more than that. I wouldn't of thought about that on any other day.

Sorry,

Methinks he still is kidding. We have "quiet" as a parameter now to quiet things down on a boot. Now if he would just get rid of the annoying...
Loading Linux... Uncompressing kernel...
He'd have something.

Cheers,
