I think the original logic was if debugging, you'd see the load-time value in dmesg, and
the kexec-time values when the machine panic()d and you hadn't made a note of the previous
set. But I'm not sure why you'd have these debug messages enabled unless you were
debugging kexec.

Sure, keep the earlier version that is more likely to be seen.
