Would you mean "ftrace_dump_on_oops,<instance1_name>" ?
As far as I can see, it doesn't work. Command line parser requires "="
for parameter value. Also, is there any reason to limit the parameter
to 2 or orig_cpu?

What about this syntax?

ftrace_dump_on_oops=<0|1|2|orig_cpu>[,<instance_name>[=<1|2|orig_cpu>][,...]

or

ftrace_dump_on_oops=instance_name[=<1|2|orig_cpu>][,...]

or

ftrace_dump_on_oops

e.g.
"ftrace_dump_on_oops=0,foo=orig_cpu" is equal to "ftrace_dump_on_oops=foo=orig_cpu"

Thank you,
