Anything that a userspace daemon manages to chuck out will have been put on disc by syslogd anyway. What we want to record is the final dying scream of the kernel as it panics, and it's not going to pass control back to a user process after that it does that. We'd need to add kernel support for the device, if we can't just use the CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE option. Otherwise we're no better off than we were before, because we'll miss out on what the kernel says on the way down.
