+This returns the kernel messages (C<dmesg> output) from
+the guest kernel.  This is sometimes useful for extended
+debugging of problems.
+
+Another way to get the same information is to enable

+=head2 guestfs_drop_caches

+ int guestfs_drop_caches (guestfs_h *handle,
+               int whattodrop);
+
+This instructs the guest kernel to drop its page cache,
+and/or dentries and inode caches.  The parameter C<whattodrop>
+tells the kernel what precisely to drop, see
+L<http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches>
+
+Setting C<whattodrop> to 3 should drop everything.
+
+This automatically calls L<sync(2)> before the operation,
