Hi Jason,

   Couple of nit-picks about the module part of this patch.  First, this could 
just be called "verbose" rather than "start_verbose"...

This loop seems way more complex than it needs to be.  Perhaps pull these two 
out into a setup_verbose_debug() func which is a noop 
for !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, and drop all the casts?
