kmemleak: Early log buffer exceeded

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hello.
I can see on my both machines

mm/kmemleak.c
static struct early_log early_log[200];

static void log_early(int op_type, const void *ptr, size_t size,
		      int min_count, unsigned long offset, size_t length)
{
...
	if (crt_early_log >= ARRAY_SIZE(early_log)) {
		print  Early log buffer exceeded;
		call dump_stack, etc.

So, my questions are:
1. Is 200 really enough? Why 200 not 512, 1024 (for example)?
//If this has been already discussed - please point me.

2. When (crt_early_log >= ARRAY_SIZE(early_log)) == 1 we just can see stack.
Since we have "full" early_log maybe it'll be helpfull to see it? 
//For example like at void __init kmemleak_init(void)
