Those are printfs for a reason.  Early boot mesages (before the kernel is
actually running) won't be seen if they are printk-d and the thing crashes
before the console is initialized.  The messages will be stuck in the printk
buffer, and you will be none the wiser.

So, they can be made quiet if you really want, but that's not the way.
