Dynamic debug doesn't have a bitmask function and still requires looking through the code for lines and format strings.
I think you are looking for a system wide equivalent for the ethtool/netif_<level> mechanism.
Nothing like that exists currently.
Some code uses a bitmask/and, other code uses a level/comparison.
Care to propose something?
