Hmmmm yup I can see that - the amount of probe info overflows the
kernel message buffer so you lose.

Getting the devices found just requires a kernel memory walk, none too
hard to do but when I had a close look at this before I think the
locator information is stashed in the kernel but the offsets into the
array were not codified in anyway - just a cursory look at the headers
shows that much has changed since I first looked (must have been circa
1.1 -> 1.2 time) which may mean that getting the locators that
succeeded in matching is easier to dig out now.  I think I shall have
to go back and see if I can fix this up in a little while.  I really
want to get the config writer up and running first....
