hi Joe,

one other corner case (in addition to pr_cont, which I probly should
have addressed to you)

+#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ":%s: " fmt, __func__

makes pr_debug unconditionally print stuff that can be
doubled up if flags are also used.

Ive done s/pr_info/pr_debug/ locally, when combined with:
  ddebug_query="module dynamic_debug +pfmlt "
lines are too long, and are redundant

This is pretty trivial, and can be avoided by
"dont add those flags then", but I could imagine it
being a minor annoyance wherever both pr_debug
and pr_info|warn|err|etc are used together.

Perhaps pr_debug and friends should ignore pr_fmt
under CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG ?
