I still think you should just remove these messages completely.

If you do keep them, note that dev_dbg() is not the same as
dev_prinkt(KERN_DEBUG) -- dev_dbg() compiles to nothing at all
unless "DEBUG" is defined.

I don't object to this.

I do think it'd be much better to combine this with the other
per-processor startup messages, of which we have an absolute over-
abundance:

CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping 09
Booting processor 1 APIC 0x6 ip 0x6000
Initializing CPU#1
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5597.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=2798571)
CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 8K
CPU: L2 cache: 512K
CPU: Physical Processor ID: 3
CPU: Processor Core ID: 0

But that's a bigger project.

Bjorn
