The patch titled Subject: printk: boot_delay should only affect output has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was printk-boot_delay-should-only-affect-output.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrew Cooks <acooks@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: printk: boot_delay should only affect output The boot_delay parameter affects all printk(), even if the log level prevents visible output from the call. It results in delays greater than the user intended without purpose. This patch changes the behaviour of boot_delay to only delay output.
