Hi,
I'd like to propose the following for 2.6.1-mm/2.6.2. On systems with a
large number of CPUs the number of printk's flowing by for each CPU
booting starts becoming a real console hog.
The following patch eliminates a couple of them (already sent a patch to
David for the ia64 specific ones) as well as changes the "Building zonelist : X" in "Built Y zonelists". IMHO it doesn't make any
sense to print for each zonelist since it's run in a for loop running
from 0 to Y-1 anyway.
The patch nukes a few new printk's that were introduced with the
scheduler changes to the NUMA code in -mm3, if these are still needed
then I won't fight for that part of the patch.
