From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao at intel.com>

Add the explanation about DRM debug level in the drmP header file. This is to
explain how/where to use the different DRM debug level.

+ * Four debug levels are defined.
+ * drm_core, drm_driver, drm_kms, drm_mode
+ * drm_core level can be used in the generic drm code. For example:
+ * 	drm_ioctl, drm_mm, drm_memory
+ * The macro definiton of DRM_DEBUG is used.
+ * 	DRM_DEBUG(fmt, args...)
+ * 	The debug info by using the DRM_DEBUG can be obtained by adding
+ * 	the boot option of "drm.debug=1".
+ *
+ * drm_driver level can be used in the specific drm driver. It is used
+ * to add the debug info related with the drm driver. For example:
+ * 	i915_drv, i915_dma, i915_gem, radeon_gem,
+ * 	The macro definition of DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER can be used.
+ * 	DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER(prefix, fmt, args...) , the prefix is a string and
+ * 	the different prefix can be used in the different file
+ * 	The debug info by using the DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER can be obtained by
+ * 	adding the boot option of "drm.debug=0x02"
+ *
+ * drm_kms level can be used in the KMS code related with specific drm driver.
+ * It is used to add the debug info related with KMS mode. For example:
+ * the connector/crtc
+ * 	the marco definition of DRM_DEBUG_KMS can be used
+ * 	DRM_DEBUG_KMS(prefix, fmt, args...) , the prefix is a string and
+ * 	the different prefix can be used in the different file.
+ * 	The debug info by using the DRM_DEBUG_KMS can be obtained by
+ * 	adding the boot option of "drm.debug=0x04"
+ *
+ * drm_mode level can be used to add the debug info related with generic DRM
+ * mode. For example:
+ * 	drm_modes.c, drm_crtc_helper.c
+ * 	The macro definition of DRM_DEBUG_MODE can be used.
+ * 	DRM_DEBUG_MODE(prefix, fmt, args...) , the prefix is a string and
+ * 	the different prefix can be used in the different file.
+ * 	The debug info by using the DRM_DEBUG_MODE can be obtained by
+ * 	adding the boot option of "drm.debug=0x08"
+ *
+ * If we add the boot option of "drm.debug=0x0c", we can get the debug info by
+ * using the DRM_DEBUG_KMS and DRM_DEBUG_MODE.
