Subject[RFC PATCH] kernel.h: Add pr_debug_noopt
From
Date
Many times a developer always wants to emit a KERN_DEBUG level
logging message even if DEBUG is not defined.

These messages today do not have a "pr_<level>" equivalent
and must be coded with printk(KERN_DEBUG.

This means that pr_fmt is not used with these logging messages.

I propose a new shortcut #define pr_<level> be added to kernel.h
to handle these KERN_DEBUG cases not prefixed with pr_fmt.

I'm not happy with the name. Some good alternatives are
already in use in a couple of places.

pr_dbg is #defined in drivers/char/isicom.c
pr_vdebug is #defined in drivers/usb/gadget/u_serial.c

I think it's appropriate to remove and substitute one
or both of these #defines from the files in drivers
and use one or both in kernel.h

Suggestions?
