Now kernel has made kernel logging structured and exsisting vmcore-dmesg
does not work with this new format. Hence kernel version 3.5 is broken. In
3.6 now a kernel patch has been put which exports relevant fields. This
patch parses those fields and makes vmcore-dmesg work with new logging
format.
Currently it does not display log levels or dictionary. I personally think
that log levels are not very useful and it also requires additional kernel
patches so that log levels are not bitfields and relevant information is
exported to user space properly.
Concept of dictionary is new and relevant information is exported. One can
possibly enahnce vmcore-dmesg to also print dictionary contents based on
a user command line option.
