PATCH 1/1 fix 'dynamic_debug' cmd line parameter

hi,

In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup() (which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is probably the behavior we want.

thanks,

-Jason
