I hate to see debugging infrastructure like this. We already have it in ACPI and it is nasty/useless. It hides serious errors during normal run, while if you turn on the debugging, it floods logs so that it is unusable, too. I end up having to replace dprintks with printks... nasty.
Then you clearly don't understand what the code is doing. Fine-grained message selection allows one to turn on only the messages needed, and only for the controller desired. Otherwise, it is nearly impossible to debug one SATA controller while booting off another.
