Comment # 4 on bug 1190235 from Borislav Petkov

Ok, I can't read. It says

        /* Bursts of 5 messages every two minutes */
        static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(ratelimit, 2 * 60 * HZ, 5);

so it is actually every *two* minutes.

So it works as advertized (timestampss are every 2 minutes).

So, the thing I'm thinking about is adding a "umip=quiet" which you supply at
the kernel cmdline and no more output.

How's that?
