I actually like the idea of using slub_debug style semantics. It makes 
sense when you start thinking about future features being added. Then we 
might actually have scenarios where vm_debug=P will make sense, but for 
right now it is probably not going to be used. Basically this all makes 
room for future expansion. It is just ugly to read right now while we 
only have one feature controlled by this bit.
