Sometimes it is more than a few lines. As an example, there is a certain brand of 10GbE switch which is designed to work around out-of-spec CX4 cables, and as a part of this, it does some sort of "link tuning" which involves flapping the link up & down nearly as fast as it can for 20 or 30 seconds. Before I ripped the "link up/down" messages out of my 10GbE driver, it wasn't uncommon to see a few hundred lines logged when plugged into one of these switches. BTW, in lieu of printing messages, I find it handy to keep a kstat showing how many times the link status has changed.
