Well, let it be:

Subject: [PATCH] dynamic_debug: dynamic hex dump
Introduce print_hex_dump_debug() 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 print_hex_dump_debug()

Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically enable/disable
kernel code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if
