Switch to use dynamic debug to avoid having recompile the kernel

Can we remove this from Kconfig as a config option ?

No, we can't, it's being used by dm-snap and dm-integrity.

Yeah, they provide additional debugging if its set.

But shouldn't we preserve old-style DMDEBUG if CONFIG_DM_DEBUG is set
(compile time printing of debugging) but if not set, use dynamic
debugging?

Think I'd prefer that as the incremental improvement... thoughts?

Works for me; I just don't want to recompile the kernel anytime I need to debug device-mapper stuff.

Will be resending.

Cheers,

Hannes
