Well, if dwmw2 agrees with this, I may do this when I have time.

I decided to make "paranoia" checks checks independent on the debug 
level. I.e., one may enable JFFS2 "paranoia" check without enabling 
JFFS2 debugging messages - this is often useful.

In turn, "paranoia" functions use "dump" functions, for example:

jffs2_dbg_fragtree_paranoia_check() uses jffs2_dbg_dump_fragtree();
jffs2_dbg_prewrite_paranoia_check() uses jffs2_dbg_dump_buffer();
etc.

So, as "paranoia" functions do not depend on the debug level, "dump" 
functions should not depend on it as well. jffs2_dbg_dump_block_lists() 
is also a "dump" function and I did not make "a quick association" for 
it. It allows me to have debug level 0 and at the same "paranoia" checks 
enabled.

But for "paranoia" functions I made the "quick association", so no Dx() 
is needed when you call, say, jffs2_dbg_fragtree_paranoia_check().
