[Dave Jones]

Andy,

since commit af8d102f999a41c0189bd2cce488bac2ee88c29b, we've had
reports from users getting this backtrace..

Given the unlikelyhood of Apple releasing a firmware fix to appease Linux,
can we downgrade this to just a printk ? That would at least stop
it getting picked up as a kernel bug by abrt and similar tools.
