It would make a tonne of sense if logging clients running on Linux had
a convenient ability to opt-in to log urgent messages also to kmsg,
since it may be at times backed with actual firmware-specific persistent
storage[1,2] that may obviate various disk synchronization issues,
which may othetwise prevent some before-death messages to be made
durable at all.
Alternative approach could be to utilize persistent storage directly
by the client program, e.g. by dumping a blackbox file there, but
e.g., in case of kernel crash, it is not achievable.
See also a relevant discussion about an initiative to make some details
rendered on the screen in some form in case of panic, which could
hypothetically contain also some recent lines from dmesg: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1903.1/01594.htmlq
