I agree with this. It's also quite interesting to see that one can enable
DEBUG_KERNEL, increase CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT, and then disable DEBUG_KERNEL,
and the changed value is still used.
I think it should be easier to change this value, as anybody with it set too
low has a useless kernel log buffer and it can make reporting more difficult.
