I guess I'll ack it too seeing I added PPC_PSERIES_DEBUG:

Yes, default y if early debug is enabled. Unlike DEBUG_KERNEL,
PPC_EARLY_DEBUG is a pretty good indication that you are doing some
kernel development - because you have to choose exactly which platform
you're working on.

No they're all related to the HPTE code, so you basically don't want any
of them enabled unless you're debugging that, and most people aren't.

Umm, I see "default y" and you are not changing this but ... default y
?? Really?

Also, I am guessing that the lpar spam is due only to a handful of printk's,
while most of the rest will be infrequent.  Just knock out the
high-frequency ones...

[PATCH v2] pseries: don't override CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES_DEBUG

2010-10-14 Thread Nishanth Aravamudan
eeh and pci_dlpar #undef DEBUG, but I think they were added before the
ability to control this from Kconfig. It's really annoying to only get
some of the debug messages from these files. Leave the lpar.c #undef
alone as it produces so much output as to make the kernel unusable.
Update the Kconfig text to indicate this particular quirk :)
