I think this is a bit too heavy-handed.
That thing adds a lot of noise to the sound,
but it doesn't really prevent the driver from
working properly. And perhaps there are
other options with the same effect?
Also, that would motivate people to
optimize DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, while otherwise
they wouldn't know. :)

What is the problem with the warning
exactly? If it makes problems, we can
just remove it and update the help text
instead, for example.
