Subject: [PATCH] quiet MMCONFIG related printks

Using MMCONFIG for PCI config space access is simply an optimization, not
a requirement.  Therefore, when it can't be used, there's no need for
KERN_ERR level message.  This patch makes the message a KERN_INFO instead
to reduce some of the noise in a kernel boot with the 'quiet' option.
(Note that this has no effect on a normal boot, which is ridiculously
verbose these days.)

Signed-off-by:  Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@...tuousgeek.org>

Thanks,
Jesse
