I was thinking more about debugging production systems in the field
where we may not have the luxury of booting a debug kernel.

Seem to recall a situation in the past where someone ran into a
problem in numa.c that called panic.  Didn't get the panic message
displayed on the console.  Had them enable xmon, and dig the panic
message out of the console buffer.  Sure would be nice if we could
get all those early catastrophic failure messages to the console.
