- If no parameter is passed, ftrace will dump
- buffers of all CPUs, but if you pass orig_cpu, it will
- dump only the buffer of the CPU that triggered the

+ buffers of all CPUs, if you pass 2 or orig_cpu, it
+ will dump only the buffer of the CPU that triggered
+ the oops, or the specific instance will be dumped if
+ its name is passed. Multiple instance dump is also
+ supported, and instances are separated by commas. Each
+ instance supports only dump on CPU that triggered the
+ oops by passing 2 or orig_cpu to it.
