Hi,

first of all, please do not top-post. Here's why:

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

Huh, what? I can't parse that sentence above.

ignore_loglevel is another kernel cmdline parameter:

        ignore_loglevel [KNL]
                        Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
                        kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.
                        We also add it as printk module parameter, so users
                        could change it dynamically, usually by
                        /sys/module/printk/parameters/ignore_loglevel.

Ok, that's better. The warnings start spewing pretty early with the one
below. Let's CC linux-mm.
