Really nice idea, and I agree that unifying drm.debug with dynamic debug
in some way would be useful. We could implement your idea by reworking the
existing debug helpers to auto-prepend the right string. That also opens
up the door for much more fine-grained bucketing maybe, only challenge is
that we should document things somewhere.

I think the only thing we have to keep working (somehow) is drm.debug. The
exact output format doesn't really matter at all. Getting drm.debug to
work when dynamic debugging is enabled probably requires exporting some
functions, so that we can set the right ddebug options from the drm.debug
mod-option write handler. There's special mod-option macros that allow you
to specify write handlers, so that part is ok.

The other bit of backwards compat we imo need is that by default we should
still keep drm.debug working, even when dynamic debugging is disabled.
Having a third option that uses no_printk or similar (to get rid of all
the debug strings and dead-code-eliminate all the related output code)

Since I brought up some changes for the debug stuff itself, would it make
sense to split that from the general macro rework for all the non-debug
output, and merge that first?

Another thing to look into: I think it'd be good to move all the print
definitions into drm_print.[hc], since drmP.h is a mess, and drm_drv.c not
really the right place. That would then also allow us to easily document
all the variants, and put something like the intro message for this commit
into the overview DOC: section.
