Kevin, I understand your frustration.  I think I used the wrong term.
It's not a "log level" thing, but a "dynamic debug" thing.  Dynamic 
Debug lets you turn on your specific message without seeing all other 
messages of the same "level."  But that means you may have to explicitly 
turn it off.

See:

 From the last link:

So your incantation would be something like:

echo file myfile.c function init_me -p > mypath/dynamic_debug/control

LWN has a dynamic debug howto.  I assume it's in kernel docs too.
