I'm concern about the printk popping when we are flushing the
readdir cache (i.e. stale data) and either flooding the console
to a ton a messages (basically bring a system to its knees for
no good reason) or scaring the hell out people by saying we have a
major problem when in reality we are just flushing stale data...
So I definitely agree the printk should be there and be on by default,
but I so think it would be a good idea to have way to turn it off
if need be...
