yeah - i already toned it down to KERN_INFO once in commit 28eb559b5 -
but it should be pr_debug() instead. The idea in pat.c is to only print
out if it's a material condition that the user should know about. I've
queued up the patch below.

Linus reported these excessive debug printouts:
turn that into a pr_debug().
