A full task stack dump of all tasks on a machine can generate more than
4MB of output to dmesg. Dumping this data to the serial console causes
the machine to hang for a number of minutes (an unacceptable impact),
but dumping the same data to memory is feasible if the dmesg buffer is
sized large enough to hold the output. Set to 16MB which will hopefully
be large enough to handle a dump from any of our servers at this time.
