hi,

Add the ability to dynamically enable/disable pr_debug()/dev_dbg() in the
kernel. Yes, these calls could be converted to printk(KERN_DEBUG), but there
are enough to cause overhead. Additionally, the logs become difficult to read.
Here, one can turn on and off these messages per .c source file via:

echo "add file.c" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_printk/files
echo "remove file.c" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_printk/files

There is also a special 'all' value that turns on all the debugging messages.

this external should be dynamic_printk (typo), shouldn't it?
