872 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
873 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
874 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
875 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
876 e.g. backtraces.
877
878 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
879 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
880 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
881 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
882 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
883 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

2030 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
2031 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
2032 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
