Yes, I see that your case would have to be handled differently. A
complication (which I believe was discussed before) is that kmsg_dump()
is done before the panic notifiers are called.

The reason I put it there is to have it before crash_kexec(), so I
guess we'll have to take up the discussion on what to do with it. For
me it now seems like it would be OK to move kmsg_dump() down below the
panic notifiers.

If you have a kdump kernel to load, then you will most likely not need
the kmsg dumped data anyway.
