? jffs2_dgb1_msg("Bla: %d. Message\n", current->pid);

Remove all the Dx() crap or none. This is more mess than before. You can
achieve all this by defining the macros correct

#if DBGLEVEL > 1
#define jffs2_dbg2_dump_whatever jff2_dbg_dmp_whatever
#else
#define jffs2_dbg2_dump_whatever do {} while(0)
#endif

#if DBGLEVEL > 1 || PARANOIA > 0
extern void jffs2_dbg_dump_whatever(arg);
#else
#define jffs2_dbg_dump_whatever do {} while(0)
#endif
