I've sent the patch to lower the log level to the kernel-team mailing list. An SRU justification for Lucid follows:

IMPACT: Users with native hwmon drivers will see a warning about ACPI resource conflicts over their boot splash screens. The log level of the message is KERN_ERR, which is too high for a notification/warning message.

ADDRESSED: The log level has been reduced to KERN_INFO as suggested upstream. Upstream also suggested cleaning up the formatting of the message, which has been included in the patch.

PATCH: See attached patch 0001-Reduce-ACPI-resource-conflict-message-to-KERN_INFO-p.patch

TEST CASE: Boot a system with a native hwmon for the hardware (i.e. an nForce 2 motherboard). Watch the screen for a ACPI resource conflict message to be displayed over the boot splash.

REGRESSION POTENTIAL: The change is highly unlikely to cause a regression because it is merely a message printout change.
