+CAPI messages are passed between Kernel CAPI and the driver via send_message()

+For the data transfer messages, DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND, the actual
+payload data immediately follows the CAPI message itself within the same skb.

+7. Debugging
+
+The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some
+debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is
+loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on
+the command line or in the configuration file.
+
+If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and
+application up and down events.
+
+In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag
+parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to tha controller are
+logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the
+showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be
+changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE.
+
+If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged.
+DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2.
+
+If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message
+length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of
+the entire message.
