We could simply not commit this patch to master, but keep it in a branch and
apply it when we need AUB file dumping support.
Alternatively, perhaps we could commit everything, but change patch 1/3 to:
#if 0
{ "aub", DEBUG_AUB },
#endif
This makes it ridiculously easy for us to enable INTEL_DEBUG=aub, but doesn't
ship the potential security exploit. Also, since a .c file would have to be
changed, it's unlikely a distributor would accidentally enable it.
Thoughts?
