Are the people who need to work with this tiny bit of information
satisfied already, or did they already miss info even with this patch?

I'm asking because kmsg_dump_get_buffer unconditionally includes the
timestamp (unless it is enabled). I do wonder if there should be an API
addition to omit the timestamp. Then even more dmesg output can be
written into the 4k buffer.
