The debug code is dead. Yes.

No leaving it behind did not break anything. When I did patch 001 it wasn't
obvious to me that it should have been removed then. It was checkpath
complaining about the printk that caused me to realize it should have been
part of patch 01.

I guess I need to make a TODO list to remember the dgap_global_lock check?
