Better as a runtime rw module parameter perhaps?  At least it avoids the

Also, call it audit to preserve the name.

Please put the move to mmu_debug in a separate patch.

enum instead of char *, maybe something in userspace can make use of this.

Here, of course, you can use print_symbolic() to preserve readability.
