I'd vote to keep them for a while and remove them at late Beta 11.0
stage or simply disable the messages by setting default param to be
quiet (->might help to solve an ugly bug later by enabling and report
possible interference via boot param in a related bug report).

Hopefully we get some reports via bugzilla.novell.com and can report
them and discuss it upstream then.

Like that we might get a clearer picture about possible interference on
specific BIOSes without polluting the mainline kernel with a temporary
debug patch.

What do you think?
