Yup. DEBUG_VM just covers too much stuff nowadays. A general way to
make these thing more fine-grained and without requiring a rebuild
would be great.
And I expect that quite a few of the debug features could be
enabled/disabled after bootup as well, so a /proc knob is probably in
our future. Any infrastructure which is added to support a new
kernel-command-line option should be designed with that in mind.
