Except
- There's (presently) no way of making all the messages go away for a
non-debug build.
- The code is structured as
if (ata_msg_foo(p))
printk("something");
So if we later do
#define ata_msg_foo(p) 0
We'll still get copies of "something" in the kernel image (may be fixed
in later gcc, dunno).
- The new debug stuff isn't documented. One has funble around in the
source to work out how to even turn it on. Can it be altered at runtime?
Dunno - the changelogs are risible. What effect do the various flags
have?
Having spent (and re-spent) time grovelling through the ALSA source
working out how to enable their debug stuff during a maintainer snooze
I'd prefer we didn't have to do that with libata as well.
