Reduce the lernel log level to KERN_NOTICE for messages related to a missing caching mode page.
Reasons why I think this change is justified: - The condition is non-fatal; the existing workaround assumes a write through cache. Although this reduces write performance, it doesn't limit functionality in any way. - The current log level suggests that immediate action is required, however, as it is a hardware limitation, there is nothing much the user can do about it besides replacing the affected hardware. - The current situation breaks quiet boot (kernel commandline parameter 'quiet'), and may trip log monitoring software unneccessarily, either on every boot or whenever an affected external device is plugged in.
