I perfectly agree. There is other ones ('usb0: USB version 1.0'), which
are left in, for some secondary reason.
And I think it would be a good idea to hide more output behind boot
verbose. Personally I prefer to print the least possible to make sure
errors and strange behaviour doesn't get lost in noise. Otherwise
we'll have to resort to multi-colour output like RedHat does to make
the 'ohci_wait_intr' message stand out.
That's what I meant with Linux-like.
Cheers,
Nick
