Public bug reported:
The log as output by dmesg does not contain the date-time of last boot.
This seems a serious oversight. Surely, the kernel is able to query the
clock? Knowing the exact date-time could be crucial in cases of
repeated reboots.
Anyway, a date-time stamp would seem a reasonable requirement from an
auditing perspective.
