pr_debug()

    Some files call pr_debug(), which is ordinarily an empty macro that discards
    its arguments at compile time.  To enable debugging output, build the
    appropriate file with -DDEBUG by adding

      CFLAGS_[filename].o := -DDEBUG

    to the makefile.

    For example, to see all attempts to spawn a usermode helper (such as
    /sbin/hotplug), add to lib/Makefile the line:

        CFLAGS_kobject_uevent.o := -DDEBUG

    Then boot the new kernel, do something that spawns a usermode helper, and
    use the "dmesg" command to view the pr_debug() output.
