Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86, mce: short output of MCE banks ownership information

I don't know if this applies here, but one thing I've been doing is
to mark the msg level as DEBUG if system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING
(which is where all the noise comes from), and INFO if the system
is running.  This way hotplug events are logged on the console.
