Ok. What about:

[PATCH] kvm-s390: fix printk on SIGP set arch

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>

KVM on s390 does not support the ESA/390 architecture. We refuse to 
change the architecture mode and print a warning. This patch removes
the printk for several reasons:

o A malicious can flood host dmesg
o The old message had no newline
o there is no connection between the message and the failing guest 

This patch simply removes the printk. We already set the condition
code to 3 - the guest knows that something went wrong.
