Drop the 'BIOS_' prefix from all printk() log-levels.
It would be nice to have another prefix though. Maybe LOG_ ? Without a prefix some of the names look a bit too generic.
I've though about that, but I don't see it as a big problem. Only "DEBUG" tends to be misused in v2, but we can easily avoid that by using DEBUG_SMBUS, DEBUG_FOOBAR #defines in v3 (if at all; all of those custom DEBUG #defines should be printk()-loglevels anyway; I think the reason for DEBUG in v2 is usually romcc/size relåted(?))
If we all desperately want a prefix, how about something really short, e.g. LDEBUG, LWARN, LINFO, ... ? I'd really like to keep the printk() lines as short as possible for readability reasons.
