[PATCH 0/3] reduce per cpu boot up messages

[Mike Travis]

Since more complex patches were rejected, try simple patches to
reduce the boot up clutter on the console, specifically those
which are printed for each cpu.

CPU 1 MCA banks SHD:0 SHD:1 CMCI:2 CMCI:3 CMCI:5 SHD:6 SHD:7 SHD:8 SHD:9 SHD:12 SHD:13 SHD:14 SHD:15 SHD:16 SHD:17 SHD:18 SHD:19 SHD:20 SHD:21

<<< and so on for up to 4096 cpus >>>

to a less cluttered:

Booting Node   0, Processors  #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok.
Booting Node   1, Processors  #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok.
Booting Node   2, Processors  #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 Ok.

Patch 2: change-firmware-msglevel

Change the loglevel of these messages to debug so as to not
get 4096 repititous messages.

Print the "WARNING: polling idle and HT enabled, performance may degrade"
