From 5651f7f47dbb1cf2b95a60582546db4ff508e2b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Zickus Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 14:02:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages During boot if the hardlockup detector fails to initialize, it complains very loudly. Some failures should be expected under certain situations, ie no lapics, or resource in-use. Tone those error messages down a bit. Keep the rest at a high level.
