1.) what guarantees that we reach user space ?
2) If it is _valuable_ information which we can gather via kernel output, then it is much more conveniant than asking the user to type whatevercryptictoolcommandline and provide the output.
Nervertheless the changelog of the patch needs some useful information why we actually need this information.
