 During runin test on 11.1.0 build os9, over four hours, there are 31457
 messages from the kernel of which most are apparently triggered by the
 camera test.

  * 28370 instances of ''mmp-camera mmp-camera.0: Frame overrun on 2,
 frames lost'', where N ranges fairly equally over 0, 1 and 2.
  * 2836 instances of ''mcam_frame_complete: N callbacks suppressed'',
 where N ranges from 78 to 95, with the most frequent value 89,

 The camera test does this:

 {{{
 /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale ! ximagesink
 }}}

 I ask:
     * are there any configuration methods to suppress the kernel messages?
 Such as restricting the frame rate of the input.
     * are the kernel messages benign? If yes, this ticket can be closed.
