Actually what's really unfortunate here is that in most configurations
this will cause a catastrophic failure to boot so we never get far
enough to see the logging at all.  We really need aSCREAM_THROUGH_DEBUG_LL()
or whatever.  Or to fix these things to dump via that route if we don't
have the console up yet, which is going to be more practical.
