I made it about halfway through the patch and the only compile time filtering 
I found was:

--- a/drivers/md/md.c
+++ b/drivers/md/md.c
@@ -62,7 +62,10 @@
 #define MdpMinorShift 6
 
 #define DEBUG 0
-#define dprintk(x...) ((void)(DEBUG && printk(x)))
+#define dprintk(x...)          \
+       if(DEBUG) {             \
+                printk(x);     \
+       }

If you say it does, I'll take your word for it, but there's so much churn in 
there I didn't find it before my interest ran out...
