Subject: [PATCH] switch "random: fast init done" message from NOTICE to INFO.

From: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>

If you loglevel=4 you get zero kernel boot messages, but at loglevel=5
the shell prompt is overwritten on devices that boot to a serial console
a second after it comes up, and if the prompt is "#" it's easy to think the
boot's hung.
