I agree with Dave that this is confusing as hell. So what does vm_debug
(without any options means). I assume it's NOP and all debugging is
enabled and that is the default. What if I want to disable _only_ the
page struct poisoning. The weird lookcing `-' will disable all other
options that we might gather in the future.
Why cannot you simply go with [no]vm_page_poison[=on/off]?
