Thanks a lot for the feedback.

The definition block needs to be inside CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE,
so it would be a bit odd to move it above the documentation
just to make kerneldoc happy. I am not really sure that to do
about it.

I'll wait for comments from others before making any changes.

Thanks,
Guenter
