Sorry, this is a little too terse for me to know what you mean.
Certainly it's not useful to have 64 copies of

    ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C3])

in the kernel log on a big box, when all 64 processors are going to
support the same C-states.  However, I don't see what the use of having
even one copy in the boot log is, when I can easily get that info at
runtime from /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power.


Anyway, Len, I see I copy-and-pasted too quickly from my T-state patch
submission... if you want to apply, a version with better changelog would be:

<--- snip --->

I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system, so my kernel log
ends up with 64 lines like:

    ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C3])

This is pretty useless clutter because this info is already available
after boot from both /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state?/ as
well as /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power.

So just delete the code that prints the C-states in processor_idle.c.
