Is this causing a problem? The messages are at KERN_DEBUG, so they
shouldn't be going to the console by default anyway.

I/O devices normally have at least one BAR, as well as some PME
messages, so a change like this won't affect them too much. My guess
is that it's really the large number of CPUs, where we find all the
uncore/memory controller/etc stuff where this is a problem. Those
devices don't have BARs, so
this line is probably the only information about them in dmesg.
