Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ARM: Reduce Netwinder startup message from warning to notice

From: Theuns Verwoerd <theuns.verwoerd@...iedtelesis.co.nz>

Reduce the level of the Netwinder floating point startup message from KERN_WARN
to KERN_NOTICE, since it is normal (correct) behaviour.

Signed-off-by: Theuns Verwoerd <theuns.verwoerd@...iedtelesis.co.nz>

This is useful to support a test framework that monitors the kernel
for unexpected
warnings, in preference to white-listing the spurious warning.  Tested on kernel
version 3.6.11.
