[arch-general] quiet kernel parameter

[Meyithi]

This appears to be down to Syslinux, specifically a change introduced in
3.74

Suppress the Loading ... message if "quiet" is specified on the kernel
> command line.


and the fix that we already knew is to use loglevel=4 instead of quiet

Use "loglevel=4" instead of "quiet"

It appears that the quiet kernel parameter also sets a quiet flag in
Syslinux as well, which is doing something horrible to early framebuffers.
 As to the original question, it seems that "quiet" and "loglevel=4" are
identical indeed, unless you use Syslinux.
