Perhaps I have a special personal axe to grind with those messages,
but it is _extremely_ irritating to find that important message
disappeared due to dmesg buffer overflow. It happened to me couple
of times on servers with quad ppro when I was hunting mptable
parsing problems. Of course, running userland mptable scanner
does not say you anything about kernel parser, and every extra
reboot requires a telephone call :)
