Ups, correct.

And, here it goes (can I call it PATCH?):

Subject: [PATCH] dynamic_debug: dynamic hex dump
Introduce debug_hex_dump() that can be dynamically controlled, similar to
pr_debug.
Also, make print_hex_dump_bytes() dynamically controlled
Implement only 'p' flag (_DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) to keep it simple since hex dump prints
multiple lines and long prefix would impact readability.
To provide line/file etc. information, use pr_debug or similar
before/after debug_hex_dump()
