KERN_INFO seems gross understatement here - generally, correctable MCs are
considered indicators that within not too distant future uncorrectable MCs might
result, so this generally is a call for action (and hence shouldn't be hidden 
with
default log level settings).

Also, I'm not sure adjusting the polling frequency makes much sense - 30s seems
an awful lot of time to me.
