Oh these look like a good plan, one of our contributors has an inline
fetish and it got cut-n-pasted into a few places particular in radeon.

But we won't be turning DRM debugging off, its what we use to debug things
in the field, I did get a patch recently to reduce some of its overhead

drm: Create and use drm_err from Joe Perches.
