That's the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case. But the functionality here is
ifdeffed off anyway, which makes it really clumsy to use as it is now.
So it will need more work.

Which leads me to say what I actually wanted to say:

Thanks for the review, very good points. I had spotted some of them
myself but had to restrain myself not to do them now for the very
simple reason: we want this code first cleaned up nicely, in small and
self-contained pieces so that no regressions get introduced from more
involved patches (debugging early microcode loader issues is nasty).

Then we can start improving it, once enough rust is shaken off.

Now, I have limited time so, if, in case you wanted to do small and
clean patchsets cleaning up this more or improving some aspects of it
and tested them and sent them to me, I'll gladly give them a good look
and test them here too. :-)

But you don't have to, this is just a suggestion anyway - I just get the
feeling that you like looking at it and wanted to mention that in case
you'd like to help out cleaning it up, you're welcome to do so.

:-)

Thanks again.
