All I know is e.g., somehow something went wrong and the user finds
himself unable to boot and unable to read the reason, as Linux is famous
for not having a way to scroll messages that have flown off the screen
and boot_delay= doesn't work good and he doesn't own another terminal he
can plug into a port or even have a port etc. etc. etc.

And he is sitting there and there is the reason, the main body of which
has just flown off the screen.

All pushed off due to this (useless to him) "Call Trace:" and some other
hex stuff lying above "Call Trace".

So if only he could please be able to, there hitting "e" in Grub,
be able to add so "call_trace=no_thanks" "other_hex_stuff=no_thanks"
to that linux command line, so then on the next run there will be
something more left upon the screen! Thank you!
