I think most of the infrastructure is already here. We could use either
console recording (as mentioned above), which is more complete, or a new
LOG_DRIVER (which would have the advantage of omitting things like countdowns).

In terms of sending things to Linux, I think the natural choice would be pstore,
which we already have a parser for.
