Is "cat /proc/lockdep*" output written from userspace?
Then, we could try "xz -9" + "base64" for recording.

kernel/locking/lockdep.c uses %px (raw address) whereas
kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c uses %p (__ptr_to_hashval() value).
I think saving these [hashed hex numbers] is unlikely useful.
At least for this testing, we can strip leading 00000000 part.
