The EFI stub currently prints a number of diagnostic messages that do
not carry a lot of information. Since these prints are not controlled
by 'loglevel' or other command line parameters, and since they appear on
the EFI framebuffer as well (if enabled), it would be nice if we could
turn them off.

So let's only print them if 'efi=debug' is passed on the command line,
or when CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI is set in the kernel build configuration.

I was going to say that it's somewhat unfortunate to lose some of these
messages by default, but I guess this only adds one additional
round-trip when debugging a remote issue, and gives us the freedom to
add more comprehensive debug messages in future.

Is the idea is to make the EFI stub completely silent in the successful
case, or is the aim just to minimise the number of messages?

If it's only the latter, we could log a message regarding the existence
of efi=debug in the default case, which might help with bug reports.

No strong feelings from me.

Thanks,
Mark.

I guess we could simply look for 'quiet' instead, and invert the logic
so we keep the current situation, but still allow for a pretty boot
splash uncorrupted by meaningless printk's if we want to (and distros
already use 'quiet' for exactly that purpose)
