Jason suggested that too, offlist.
I pretty much agreed, but wanted to get the 1st 17 sent.

What gave me pause was this:
		pr_debug("Unknown argument: calling %p\n", handle_unknown);

it made me think about a common handler to deal with it 1st,
before the /* Find parameter */ loop, so that modules couldnt hijack
the dyndbg param, defeating the common handler.
OTOH, the BUILD_BUG_DECL prevents that hijack.

Maybe the best answer is silence the print when param is properly handled.

	if (handle_unknown) {
                int rc = handle_unknown(param, val);
		if (rc)
                      pr_debug("Unknown argument: calling %p\n",
handle_unknown);
		return rc;
       }

I'll do this shortly, see how it works out..
thanks
