What do you mean by 'verbose'? It is only a line per fault, and at least
the Intel driver also logs DMAR faults with one line per fault :)

Yes, we can talk about that. But only after the trace-event for it
landed in the code. There must be some way to report the faults and if
userspace prefers to catch them via trace-events than we can disable
printing them to the kernel log.
