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

5ad3d8831f0c97257460c11ddcc1cc0466c762d4 in my drm-next branch,
drm: Create and use drm_err from Joe Perches.
