/var/run/dmesg.boot can't be relied on, unfortunately ... I've had *many* 
times where a reboot leaves that blank, or with "non-dmesg like" output 
... if you can provide a non-dmesg method of adding this information that 
is consistent (ie. pciconf), then sure, we can add this sort of 
information ...
