Ah, so I need to compile in debugfs.  That isn't/wasn't necessary for
the DMA error debugging.  I am surprised that debugfs enables you to
alter kernel debugging levels on the fly (I thought it was a
passive logging mechanism for kernel state), but you live and learn.

I will compile in debugfs, but I don't expect to have any rapid results
for you. With 3 and a half hours of streaming yesterday it happened
once.  I won't be able to do much testing by way of transferring files
over the LAN for a while either (I imagine that would provide greater
stress testing).
