I think what we want here is:

> +static int debug = -1; /* defaults above */

This will correct it and maintain the current behavior.
By passing in the 0x00007ffff we were getting the passed in default
paramter from the 2nd compare in the first if statement below. If we set
debug to 15 then it looks like we would turn on all bits rather than
qlge default.

static inline u32 netif_msg_init(int debug_value, int default_msg_enable_bits)
{
/* use default */
if (debug_value < 0 || debug_value >= (sizeof(u32) * 8))
return default_msg_enable_bits;
if (debug_value == 0) /* no output */
return 0;
/* set low N bits */
return (1 << debug_value) - 1;
}
