While doing some debugging I found that I had something close to an all
or nothing option for debug output. ...and all was a LOT!
As a result I made the following changes to printk.h:
diff -ur freebios-010119.orig/src/include/printk.h

I then went through the code and replaced most cases of DBG with one of
the other DBG? macros. Is this a change that is supported by others?
Or will people just hate me for submitting the patch?
As it stands now, level 6 provides next to nothing and level 7 blabs
about every PCI I/O operation and tons of other stuff.
Thanks!
