The reason that these messages show up on the console is because they
are printed with a high "importance" by the kernel.
The only way to make them go away is to adjust the log level used by
them below the level set for display on the console for the kernel.
The two places to check are the '--log-level' value in the iptables
command, and the console display level, managed by 'dmesg -n <level>'
