This is awfully verbose.
But useful. On the other hand we have lots of IMNSHO
quite useless printks in early bootup that could be removed
to make up for that
(e.g. candidates would be the
"CPU: After/before generic identify"
or
Entering add_active_range....)
printks and you can easily make up for the added verbosity.
Those don't live in an area of memory which is hard-limited to 32K.
