Sounds like we'd need a bit more documentation in drm-uapi.rst ;-) We
really can't spam dmesg by default for userspace fail, e.g. if you open a
file that isn't there dmesg also doesn't tell you what exactly went wrong
(e.g. which directory in your path it couldn't find).

But I wanted to trick someone into looking into dynamic debugging since
forever, since the current drm.debug firehose is indeed unmanageable by
default. So I very much like the idea you're pushing for here.

But needs to be discussed on dri-devel, pls resubmit with that on cc.
