I'd be quite happy with this, if only for consistency's sake -- at the moment we've got some kernel subsystems which print "yup, I've started up" messages, and some which don't; it's mildly annoying when you're trying to track down a problem that's stopping the kernel from starting up correctly, because there's no guarantee that the last message had anything to do with what was actually happening.
Being a geekish sort of person, I'd prefer it if on my system I could make everything print a line saying what it is and what hardware it found; perhaps it could be a kernel argument ("messages=full"; the messages option would control which log prefixes printk would actually print to the screen, and module startup messages would use a predefined prefix). Might be handy for debugging.
