The goal of passing the "quiet" option to the kernel is for the kernel to be quiet unless something really is wrong. Sofar passing quiet has been (mostly) equivalent to passing loglevel=4 on the kernel commandline. Which means to show any messages with a level of KERN_ERR or higher severity on the console. In practice this often does not result in a quiet boot though, since there are many false-positive or otherwise harmless error messages printed, defeating the purpose of the quiet option. Esp. the ACPICA code is really bad wrt this, but there are plenty of others too. This commit makes CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET configurable. This for example will allow distros which want quiet to really mean quiet to set CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET so that only messages with a higher severity then KERN_ERR (CRIT, ALERT, EMERG) get printed, avoiding an endless game of whack-a-mole silencing harmless error messages.
