Switching from KERN_DEBUG to KERN_INFO means the messages will now
appear for most people, whereas previously they didn't. I'm not sure
that's a great idea.

If you really want to convert them, then I think we need a macro for
KERN_DEBUG but not conditionally compiled like pr_debug.

I sent a patch for that once, but I don't think anyone liked it, and
I've lost it now :D

cheers
