I didn't say I wouldn't do it - it's just that I'm trying to fix other stuff
at the moment and don't particularly want to add that to the list just now.
kenter, _enter and co. are serving me very well.

Let's see...  If the machine panics whilst I'm developing stuff (quite likely
if something goes wrong in BH context), how do I get at the function tracing
log to find out why it panicked if the log is then lost?  With the serial
console, at least I automatically capture the output of kenter and co..
