Hi,

I'm wondering, if we leave the cmdline parameter: 'ddebug_query=' around
for a bit before removing it, so it doesn't get dropped too suddenly.
Perhaps, we add a warning msg, for people that are still using it
for a few releases warning that it is deprecated, before dropping it.

Also, let's add the 'dyndbg=' syntax to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

A previous version had a build-time error if a module used 'dyndbg' as a
module param - why did that get dropped?

Thanks!

-Jason
