yes

Then why not just put the

1) cpufreq.h is included by other subsystems, and thus those other subsystems
potentially have the wrong debugging information.

2) For the case where CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is set and 
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set i need to be able get the proper
definition of 'dynamic_dbg_enabled()' out of dynamic_print.h (included by
kernel.h). This proper definition is obtained by setting 'DEBUG', and
thus i need to define this before the kernel.h include. 

We can solve #2 by defining an explicit definition for dynamic_dbg_enabled() 
when only CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG within cpufreq.h. roughly:

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG
#define cpufreq_debug_printk(flag) 
	if (cpufreq_debug & flag)
		 __cpufreq_debug_printk()

However, the way i have it now I don't need two definitions for 
cpufreq_debug_printk....

If we could pull the subsystem specific header in dynamic_printk.h for each 
subsytem that would do the trick and be really clean, but i'm not sure of an
easy way to do that...
