Well, I've seen several cases of this being talked about, but unless there are
major objections (and there shouldn't be), I plan to turn on the following
options in GENERIC in -current in 2-3 days:

options         INVARIANTS
options         INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options         DIAGNOSTICS
options         WITNESS

Currently a kernel will not boot with WITNESS turned on (it will die during the
SCSI/ATA probes), but I have patches to fix this that have been tested on UP
and SMP x86 and work fine and I am in the process of testing on my Alpha.  If
anyone has any other debugging options that they would like to see turned on in
addition, feel free to add to this list.
