Hmm bear with me please - the categories this patch creates are intended
to be used explicitly from the GVT "sub-module", or they somehow even
get automatically used with no further intervention to callers required?

Same as my previous question, perhaps I am not up to speed with this
yet.. Even if pr_debug is used inside GVT - are the categories and
debug_gvt global as of this patch (or series)?
