Reduce the lernel log level to KERN_NOTICE for messages related
to a missing caching mode page.
Reasons why I think this change is justified:
- The condition is non-fatal; the existing workaround assumes
a write through cache. Although this reduces write performance,
it doesn't limit functionality in any way.
- The current log level suggests that immediate action is
required, however, as it is a hardware limitation, there is
nothing much the user can do about it besides replacing the
affected hardware.
- The current situation breaks quiet boot (kernel commandline
parameter 'quiet'), and may trip log monitoring software
unneccessarily, either on every boot or whenever an affected
external device is plugged in.
