One of my machines has a card reader (CF, SD and so on). This device
causes a message like this to be constantly logged to dmesg and the
console:
  "hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6"

Apparently this is a known bug, or perhaps not a bug but an interaction
between the way these devices work and what the kernel expects:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/26/217

However, the messages themselves are seriously annoying. For example, if
a drive fscks on boot, I can't watch its progress or see any questions
or warnings because "hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port
6" appears on the console several times a second.

Is it possible to suppress this message? Because of the fsck thing, such
supression would ideally happen early in the boot process, ie before I
have a prompt.
