Yes, I would first check if there's a section named "__verbose" as it
is right now. If yes, I would search the already setup module->kp for
the used parameter.
Proposals, not being sure how to implement that right now:
Default is to search e.g. for param "dprintk".
Provide a macro to override that default, e.g.
DPRINTK_PARAM("verbose")
If the default or defined bool or other integer parameter is unequal
to 0 enable the p-flag on module load for all debug statements of this
module.
Questions just in case the proposal is kind of ok:
Prepare the code to allow the setting of different future flags
unequal to 'p'?
Use a charp param instead of a bool to allow that?
