ACPI Debug Output
=================
The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
output. This document describes how to use this facility.
Compile-time configuration
--------------------------
==========================
ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config
option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the
kernel.
Boot- and run-time configuration
--------------------------------
================================
When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
