And I thought it was a good idea.  Any file system development should have
tests with DEBUG_VM which should cover Matthew's concern while not having the

Why do you think these paths are only used during file system development?
They're definitely used by networking, by device drivers of all kinds
and they're probably even used by the graphics system.

While developers *should* turn on DEBUG_VM during development, a
shockingly high percentage don't even turn on lockdep.
