These days alot of the ethernet drivers use one of the mii phy general
codes that cause those messages to be printed..

The ethernet drivers are a bit of a bad example because there is alot
of variations of the code to monitor the phy state machines so for
consistency with the general mii stuff they have to print the message
on their own. :|
