My initial suggestion was to just fix up the boot time array.
I think that's actually wrong. Just print the raw data and analyze it
in user space.

Streven, STOP HACKING AROUND GARBAGE.
Your solution to "I had a bad idea that resulted in bad code" seems to
always be "write more bad code".
STOP IT.
Really. This is literally what I started the whole original complaint
about. Go back to my original email, and try to understand the
original issue. Let me quote the really relevant part of that email
again:
This stuff is full of crazy special cases for things that should never
be done in the first place.
Note - and really INTERNALIZE - that "for stuff that should never be
done in the first place".
You started with the wrong design. Then you keep hacking it up, and
the hacks just get wilder and crazier as you notice there are more
special cases.
This is now getting to the point where I'm considering just ripping
out the whole boot-time previous kernel buffer crap because you seem
to have turned an interesting idea into just a morass of problems.
Your choice: get rid of the crazy, or have me rip it out.
