99% of such people wouldn't know about amd/debugging.rst (nor should 
they really: why should there be an extra layer of obfuscation while we 
have this thing called a 'computer' that could ... compute all that 
lookup for us? ;-), and they'd be looking at information in the syslog 
after weird reboots.

We should improve their quality of life as much as possible.
