From: Jesper Juhl This patch modifies a few of the printk() loglevels used in init/main.c in an attempt to make them a bit more appropriate. The default loglevel is KERN_WARNING, but a few printk's without explicit loglevel are not (in my oppinion) warnings, so add proper warning levels - for instance; telling the user how many CPU's were brought up is hardly a warning, make it KERN_INFO instead. The initial printing of linux_banner is not a warning condition, I'd say it's more of a NOTICE or even INFO condition - I've made it KERN_NOTICE just as the printing of the kernel command line. A few printk's without explicit loglevel do match the default one, but I've made them explicit (the default could change in the future, and if it does then explicitly setting the proper loglevel is a nice thing).
