Since pr_debug is not printed by default, change both test and subtest
log messages to pr_info so they are always logged.
I just use the trace... As when the test fails we say which subtest
failed, and hopefully include more details in the error message, and
recent history is in the trace dumped when considered relevant.
Fair. My thinking was simply to leave more breadcrumbs if the machine
died in the middle of a subtest.
Thinking more about it, the easiest option would be to actually enable
pr_debug, iirc a config option.
AFAICT we would need to pass -DDEBUG to interesting compilation units.
However, the only time we don't get breadcrumbs is if the machine
spontaneously combusts, which we are told is a mere figment of our
imagination. Most often I wonder if we simply do not get the death
throes - adding logging won't help if we don't capture it. For the true
spontaneous combustion, it's pretty random and all I can think of
suggesting are more sanity checks to try and catch inconsistencies early.
Well I was looking at one such log today so hence the patch.. :)

I can certainly send a patch for -DDEBUG, seems like that would be the
correct thing to do for all selftests.
I've changed my mind - I think it is more desirable to actually just do
what this patch did and convert test start messages to pr_info.
To enable all pr_debug by default, even if compiled with i915 debugging
on, doesn't seem conceptually correct. There might be ones which are
prohibitively noisy and in any case it would defeat the point of dynamic
debug.
