If they use printk, we'll catch these messages, no? It is true that if they just write to the HW directly, the messages are lost for us, and there's nothing we can do about it (and we don't see these messages from the kernel anyway, neither in dmesg, nor in pstore). So, for serial (or arch-specific) console it is still cumbersome to make proper parsing of all messages, but for pstore/ramconsole it is OK. So, I dunno. I guess I'll have to add a custom header to pstore, heh.
