[RFC][Patch] Adding kmsg_dump() toreboot/halt/poweroff/emergency_restart path

[Seiji Aguchi]

Hi,

Final messages from reboot, halt and poweroff aren't output to disk because klogd/syslogd 
has been killed and root file system has been turned read-only.

Final messages from emergency_restart aren't output to disk as well because system may
reboot before klogd/syslogd outputs messages to disk.

Therefore, it is better to put kmsg_dumper in reboot/halt/poweroff/emergency_restart path.
Any comments/advices are welcome.
