I'm not keen on using "RELY" because I don't think it's at all obvious
what it means. "RELI" would be closer, but still could use some
improvement.

Since we turned off this kernel output by default (at least on x86)
because the line length had grown quite long, maybe we should just
embrace it and print "RELIABLE" in full?
