Dynamic debug doesn't have a bitmask function and still requires looking through the code for lines and format strings. I think you are looking for a system wide equivalent for the ethtool/netif_<level> mechanism. Nothing like that exists currently. Some code uses a bitmask/and, other code uses a level/comparison.
