drm/i915: Improve debug Kconfig texts a bit
We're not consistently recommending these for developers only. I stumbled over this due to DRM_I915_LOW_LEVEL_TRACEPOINTS, which was added in commit 354d036f Author: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Date: Tue Feb 21 11:01:42 2017 +0000 drm/i915/tracepoints: Add request submit and execute tracepoints to "alleviate the performance impact concerns." Which is nonsense. Tvrtko and Joonas pointed out on irc that the real (but undocumented reason) was stable abi concerns for tracepoints, see https://lwn.net/Articles/705270/ and the specific change that was blocked around tracepoints: https://lwn.net/Articles/442113/ Anyway to make it a notch clearer why we have this Kconfig option consistly add the "Recommended for driver developers only." to it and all the other debug options we have.
