ok, heres the 'tape' of a virtme boot,
then modprobe going wrong.

So, what I think I need to add:
ddebug_add_module() scans the module being loaded,
looking for a param thats wired to dyndbg's modparam callback.
Then it calls that callback, with the val of the sysfs-node
(drm.debug in this case), and the module (i915)
the callback will then run the query to enable callsites per drm.debug.
I'll guess the kparams I need to find are in a section somewhere
Anyone want to toss a lawn-dart at the code I need to look at, copy ?
