The problem I see with pr_debug() is that it could only activated via

Do you really need this heavy debug logging in the first place? You
can use kprobes for arbitrary run-time inspection anyway, so logging
everything seems wasteful.

The problem I see with kprobes is that you have to set several kernel
configuration options (e.g. CONFIG_KPROBES, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, etc.)
on compile time to use it. Same problem with pr_debug().
