How do I view debug messages from logbuf?

well. I tried that. The thing is, the pr_debug() symbols are in
"control" only after "insmod my_module". Then I can echo -n 'file
my_mobule.c +p' > control
But my pr_debug() messages get printed directly after insmod, basically
in my module_init function. Enabling my file doesn't output anything in
/var/log/*
