Yeah, I think you'll need to refactor it and share only the parsing
frontend.  Just adding a switch (-m or whatever) which puts it into
machine-friendly translator mode should do the trick.

You don't need to handle the data structure at all.  Just make it
parse the dmesg and output machine-friendly formatted output which can
be processed by s2c.  ie. just make it do the reformatting.
