We use everywhere env.variables (e.g. HWCLOCK_DEBUG=). The macro
__UL_INIT_DEBUG() already provides all necessary functionality for
this purpose.
It also allows to use human readable names for the masks or hex
numbers. See for example sys-utils/lsns.c or libsmartcols/src/init.c
for more complex usage. The human readable masks are optional and now
used by shared libs only, see for example "LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG=help
lsns".
I'd like to keep things consistent and with no exceptions...
IMHO "hwclock --verbose" is good idea for ordinary users and
"HWCLOCK_DEBUG=all hwclock" for developers.
