From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Currently freezing failures are extremely verbose which sometimes is

unnecessary and prevents the user from seeing which task could not be frozen.
Make them less verbose by default (ie. if CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE is unset).

I don't think compile time option is right thing to do.
Dump just the stacks of the non-frozen tasks?
acpi_sleep=verbose?
Reorder dmesg so that you get backtraces, and _then_ list of the

tasks?
