[Bug 1303905] [NEW] should log important problems to dmesg

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

I logged into a remote system today to find that its root filesystem was
read-only.  I didn't expect logs to be updated, but I tried looking in
dmesg to see what the problem was: there was no indication there.  Adam
looked at the console and found something there, but it would have been
helpful to have a hint of the problem (last mount in the future due to a
wrong clock, in this case) in dmesg for easier debugging.

** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu)
