Bug Description

Even when 'quiet' is used (as with usplash), I see two kernel messages:

kernel direct mapping tables ...
Booting the kernel

These should be suppressedfor the release.

I disabled the direct mapping table line. However, I left the "Booting the kernel" line since it's also in x86, and it also help us know where the kernel is if it freezes (this is the point where it leaves the decompress code, and jumps into the actual kernel).

This line actually helped to find a bug before.

This has regressed in Intrepid. It now prints:

"Kernel alive"
"Kernel really alive"

on x86-64. This doesn't happen on i386.
