Description:
Commit 79063a7c0239419d5f6bee63228f66256fdc0fc4 ("x86/boot: Add hex output for debugging") [0] enables verbose debug output on boot:

input_data: 0x0000000001e1526e
input_len: 0x0000000000732236
output: 0x0000000001000000
output_len: 0x0000000001535640
run_size: 0x00000000021fb000

While useful for debugging I think we should not enable this for distribution kernels. Please disable CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP in configuration. As this is not critical I would suggest to fix in SVN and have the change in package with next upstream release.
