Still like it if you don't mind...

I thought so. Users of the digest_cache LSM do:
struct digest_cache *digest_cache;
digest_cache = digest_cache_get(dentry);
and so on. Those users don't know the internal layout of the
digest_cache structure, but still pass it to the various functions.

I like to do dynamic debug, and I can control what part I want to
debug. All these messages allowed me to debug efficiently when there
was any issue. Would be a pity to remove them.
