This an enables the printing of early panic() calls triggered in uml_postsetup(). When a panic() call happens so early in the UML kernel no earlyprintk/console is available yet, but with a kmsg_dumper in place the kernel message buffer will be outputted to the user, to give a better hint, of what the failure was.
