When no HW method is provided to sync the timebase, linux uses a software algorithm. The code for that is very verbose using straight printk's without log level. A lot of this is mostly useless unless you want to debug the process, and we didn't have any problem with it for years anyway so this turns the bunch of them into pr_debug.
