I don't think the ia64 "unaligned access" message is a good
counterexample because:

 - they're not just an unconditional printk -- they're ratelimited
 - they can be turned off per-process with "prctl --unaligned=silent"
 - people actually complain about the message spew all the time
 - setting your console loglevel so you don't see them still leaves
   them filling up the logbuffer (and the unaligned access message is
   at KERN_WARNING so setting your loglevel so you don't see them
   blocks a lot of other messages you probably do want to see)

The example in my original email is even worse than the "unaligned
access" message in that it's a completely benign informational message
-- there's not even the justification of "you're hurting performance,
fix the program doing unaligned accessess."
