Just since the last reset is about all we aim for. It's a game of trying
to work out what information will be required to debug future hangs. Too
much and it's a needle-in-a-haystack-problem, too little and we have the
round-trip latency in getting a new kernel to where the problem is seen.
And then for the next few years being frustrated at seeing hangs with the
old error state.

I defer what information is required for debugging in the future to
those already attempting it; but I do know that recording what firmware
and what status we left the uc in will always be useful. :)
