Ok, yeah so I guess I'm thinking about the 'class' more as global namespace,
so that for example, it could span modules, or be specific to certain modules.
I'm also thinking of it as a 'string' which is maybe hierarchical, so that it's
clear what sub-system, or sub-sub-system it belongs to. So for DRM for example,
it could be a string like "DRM:CORE". The index num I think is still helpful for
implementation so we don't have to store a pointer size, but I don't think it's
really exposed (except perhaps in module params b/c drm is doing that already?).

Agreed, that was a bad example on my part.

I've put together a rough patch on top of your series, to make my thinking
hopefully clear. I also think that the module param callback thing could be
implemented in this 'global' space with the 0-14 low numbers, by adding
some sort of offset into the table. IE you would add the low number +
the offset to get the 'string' to add to the ddebug query. I commented it
out in my patch below b/c I didn't implement that part.

Thoughts?
