The problem is how the devcoredump/sysfs interface works, which
results in "re-rendering" the output for each block.. it's fine for
moderate size sysfs files, but scales quite badly once you get into
couple MB size sysfs files.

It could be fixed by having some way to keep state across successive
read callbacks.
