I suppose these can be removed altogether.
For now #if 0 ... #endif.

would it not be preferable to mark these as KERN_DEBUG instead?

Sure they will still show up in dmesg, but that gives the code authors 
opportunity to themselves adjust the messages, mark them as DPRINTK(), 
or #if-0 them out themselves.
