Just to be more precise, the log level is defined as RTE_LOG_DEBUG, but 
in few places you can find something like:
#define NTB_LOG(level, fmt, args...) \
     rte_log(RTE_LOG_ ## level, ntb_logtype,    "%s(): " fmt "\n", \

         __func__, ##args)

and usage like this:
NTB_LOG(DEBUG, "Link is not up.");
