Better as a runtime rw module parameter perhaps? At least it avoids the large debugfs callbacks.

Also, call it audit to preserve the name.


This patch not change the logic

Please put the move to mmu_debug in a separate patch.

Really neat use of tracepoints.

enum instead of char *, maybe something in userspace can make use of this.

Here, of course, you can use print_symbolic() to preserve readability.
