Make the textdump readable? What is this heresy!

But seriously, +1 from me too. Especially for the long path that gets 
repeated every line, we could only put it once at the start of the file.
For kernel traces, the PID, TGID and exec name are nice to have, but 
that's it. May need to add a "cpu number" that's normally at the end of 
the file path.

Not sure about making the timestamp in H:M:S format though. This should 
be the job of the viewer, as it would make parsing more difficult. 
Unless we want two different modules, a "human readable textdump" and a 
"parseable textdump".
