[PATCH] [POWERPC] Silence an annoying boot message

vmemmap_populate will printk (with KERN_WARNING) for a lot of pages
if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled (at least it does on iSeries).
Turn it into a DEBUG message.

Without this patch, all the messages before this one are purged from the
console buffer.  Is this really a warning?
