If this one is/can be touched, then we should modify ACPI_DEBUG_DEFAULT directly?

Like that you only have to fiddle with one param for general debugging (e.g. when requesting info in a bug report). This is what should be in OpenSUSE for quite a while. init seems not to be used. --- include/acpi/acoutput.h.bak 2008-11-14 18:53:33.000000000 +0100 +++ include/acpi/acoutput.h 2008-11-14 18:53:48.000000000 +0100 @@ -172,7 +172,7 @@ /* Defaults for debug_level, debug and normal */ -#define ACPI_DEBUG_DEFAULT (ACPI_LV_INIT | ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT) +#define ACPI_DEBUG_DEFAULT (ACPI_LV_INIT) #define ACPI_NORMAL_DEFAULT (ACPI_LV_INIT | ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT) #define ACPI_DEBUG_ALL (ACPI_LV_AML_DISASSEMBLE | ACPI_LV_ALL_EXCEPTIONS | ACPI_LV_ALL) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
