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?
