I propose to replace 'Pr_debug', 'Dev_debug', and 'DEBUGP' with
kernel markers. SystemTap is used for the output of the log.

I propose to make it to the function to output only specified
kernel markers as a log and the function in a word like LTTng of
a simple version by using the framework and kernel markers of
ftrace if the log is output by using debugfs.

Thank you,
