How is this very specialized ad hoc debug magic in any way similar to
generally useful and just working debug mechanism like the lockup or
hung detector? Those are just turned on, do not need a boatload of
command line parameters and are generally useful.

Your debug magic is a workaround for a disfunctional hardware debugger,
which means it's going to be used by three people twice a year if at
all. Seriously?
