 If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
 If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
 'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
 Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
 so.
 
+If you want to see debug messages only for a special device driver you can
+specify the dma_debug_driver=<drivername> parameter. This will enable the
+driver filter at boot time. The debug code will only print errors for that
+driver afterwards. This filter can be disabled or changed later using debugfs.

 When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
 out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
 of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
