Hi Sanjaya,
Sure they can, but I think they are very basic tracing message and do not appear
to carry much of information useful the event of debugging. Do you have a
suggestion on what additional information may be added to make them more useful?

If you still think we should have then in the CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL guard, let me
know and I will attempt to improve these.

Thank you,
