I wonder if we should have it be:

	ftrace_dump_on_oops[=orig_cpu | =<instance> | =<instance>:orig_cpu ]

Then last would be to only print out a specific CPU trace of the given instance.

And if we really want to be fancy!

	ftrace_dump_on_opps[=orig_cpu | =<instance> | =orig_cpu:<instance> ][,<instance> | ,<instance>:orig_cpu]

That would allow dumping more than one instance.

If you want to dump the main buffer and an instance foo:

	ftrace_dump_on_opps,foo

Where the ',' says to dump the top instance as well as the foo instance.
