It works with /proc/sys/fs/xfs/error_level, to determine when more verbose
errors should be printed to the syslog.  /proc/sys/fs/xfs/error_level
works like a volume control - from 0 to 11, with 11 being the noisiest
(i.e. the most information printed for the least severe errors)

There are actually only a few "detents" on the volume control though,
so you won't notice a difference between, say, 4 and 5, currently.
