Well, DEBUG_KERNEL really means two things:

  - make more debugging options available
  - allow the *disabling* of existing (default-enabled) debug options

So i think the right solution would be to select DEBUG_KERNEL if 
EXPERT is enabled - this would simplify things and would allow the 
removal of a lot of EXPERT conditions from the debug options.

Ok?

Thanks,

	Ingo
