.. are we really debating this?

Stop calling them quirks. That sounds like something that won't mess
up your actual runtime. It's not giving them enough "weight". They're
more "device behaviours" or "device flags" or something. Print them
out like that. I think that _not_ printing them out at boot time is
insane. Doubly so if it could cause issues before you can actually run
commands.

So if it were me, I'd print out the device quirks like we print out
CPU flags. Ie, all the time.
