Actually, I'm not sure we need any of the current messages, or to have
them at higher priority than pr_debug()? They are all triggered by admin
action, or unconditionally upon boot.
OTOH I think that an useful message that's currently missing would be
when the static_key_enable() is triggered in auto mode. Bonus points for
including the name of the process and the stat file that was read.
However static_key_enable() returns void and not whether it actually
flipped the switch, so it's not trivial.
