But don't you have to do something in the sources to actually get
dynamic_debug enabled? I'm concerned this will make mac80211 debugging
inconsistent - the normal bits are just printk() still, and the
rate-limited bits need some special enabling? That seems odd.

You can turn them all off or on with a simple flip of a boolean switch
at run-time.  Or, alternatively, you can turn them on or off in a
finer grained manner with other run-time facilities.

There should be a transition away from explicit KERN_DEBUG.

I support that, but I think it's confusing to have things mixed. Also,
we seem to have printk_ratelimit(), so I'd prefer to have that used in
mac80211 instead until everything there moves over to newer facilities.
