I asked if KTR_GEN was ok.. I can use KTR_SUBSYS.. sure.. but that
means I can't really run witness on my machine as I test.. since
witness is the only one that uses KTR_SUBSYS.. No one else uses
KTR_GEN.. why is it a problem using one.

The logging in general is not really debugging.. its used for
a lot more than that..

I can change this to KTR_SUBSYS.. but I would like to know why
using KTR_GEN is so bad?

I asked earlier.. and did not hear an objection... I don't mind
changing it.. but just like DSCP code points.. I would like
to know the strategy behind the request.. you currently
have 1/3 of the space unused or spare...

So whats wrong with using a unused one?
