It was never shown in the colour:

	warn/dmesg-warn == orange
	fail/dmesg-fail == red

If there's a warning in dmesg it'll either be orange if it didn't result
in a test failure, or red if it did impact on user behaviour.

Also coupled with Petri's runner changes, if it's a severe warning
(coupled with a taint), then the CI runner will terminate and reboot.
