Uuurg. Do you really want do analyse 20MB crappy formatted printk
output?

We want output from live systems without requesting the user to
recompile the kernel and setup capturing scenarios. 

We tracked down problems in the past by asking for a simple

nanddump /dev/mtdX >file.dmp

and I really want to keep it that way. Its simple, proven and people can
handle it.
