[PATCH] x86, intel, power: Modify the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS message from warning to info

From: Ivan Hu
Date: Thu Oct 25 2012 - 05:28:06 EST


Intel IA32 program guild doesn't mention that this MSR should be set by
BIOS, instead, it mentions "Software can use whatever criteria it sees
fit to program the MSR with the appropriate value.". Discuss with IBV,
they'd like to keep this MSR as default, and let OS to change value if desired.
This message should be more proper set as an info than a warning.
