I don't think this is as big of a deal here as in other cases, like oops
output. With libata errors, if they're at the console (which they'd have
to be to see these messages), unless something has actually caused a
panic the scrollback buffer should still be functional and they'd be
able to see the entire output..
Scrollback rarely works as planned, for me. Overall, a balance must be
found.
More information is more helpful. But.
There are downsides to spewing everything possible, upon error. You
cause logging to the possibly problematic disk, you push older messages
out of the printk ring buffer, etc., etc.
