Its mostly free form with a few exceptions. Its not really documented. You can read about
it here

I am not opposed to it, I just don't know how we would support debugging
a driver vs a dll if we had support to toggle the messages. I guess it
could be done with little trouble everywhere.

The problem is in GCC on *nix. I don't think there is much we can do about
it short of fixing GCC. If we ever do a ELF building using gcc on linux to 
build ReactOS for another CPU then we will have the same issue.

I'm sure that that could be handled at the macro level; the include to
the DDK and the include to the SDK could have separate switches
perhaps?

Anyone wish to comment on how hard this would be and/or would be
willing to try it?

Thanks

I had an idea about this....

ExRosSetDebugLevel() and ExRosGetDebugLevel() can be ntdll umode 
syscalls into ntoskrnl. We should shadow the debug level in umode so 
that ExRosGetDebugLevel() doesn't have to jump to kmode every time we 
query it.
