        modprobe-2707  [002] d..1    97.079458: console: [   95.816945] NFS: Registering the id_resolver key type

        modprobe-2707  [002] d..1    97.084534: console: [   95.822038] Key type id_resolver registered

If you wanted this from boot up, you can just add to the kernel command line:

  trace_event=console
