Bug Description

On boot I see:

kvm: disabled by bios

message. Can that be hidden by default? On ubuntu, we already have excellent kvm-ok utility that is suppose to detect that. And if a user doesn't know what a VM is and never going to be using kvm, there is no need to print that message on each boot =)
