Thanks, Scott and Tom.  Based on the information that the two of
you supplied, I have found a solution.  I ended up setting

kernel.printk = 6 4 1 6

For my situation, that was sufficient.  The messages that I was
trying to suppress were at level 7 (debug-level messages); so setting
the console loglevel to 6 was sufficient in my case.  Thanks again.
Thanks also to all who replied.
