DEBUG:

Identify virt_to_phys() offset :
 - Obtain 'working kernel'
 - Somewhere in printk.c which wll print:
     +       pr_err("log_buf = 0x%p, virt_to_phys(0x%llu)\n",
                       log_buf, virt_to_phys(log_buf));

 - Subtract the physical from virtual
  - I did this after finding both values above - Should have put it in
    the code!

Then Use that offset : (0xffffff7fc0000000 for me YMMV) to convert virt
addresses:

 - cat System.map | grep big_buffer
    ffffff8009855c78 b big_buffer_index
    ffffff8009855c80 b big_buffer

 Thus:  0xffffff8009855c80 - 0xffffff7fc0000000 = 0x49855c80

 - 'Soft reset' the board (push the reset button)
 - Break into uboot
 - Dump memory:

md.l 0x49855c80 256
