If the hardware error dump is complicated there is a trade-off between making things human readable and putting a lot of comlicated parsing code into the kernel. Maybe the kernel should just dump hex "text" in some cases and let a user-program parse the syslog?
What do do if the hardware error log is very large? Is there a limit on how much is practical to send through syslog?
