I think that in the long term we can introduce a kernel parameter like "debug_level=1", "debug_level=2", "debug_level=3" that will turn on debugging features across all kernel subsystems and we can teach users to use it to diagnose problems. But it won't work if every subsystem has different debug parameters. There are 192 distinct filenames in debugfs, if we add 193rd one, harly anyone notices it.
