I googled "libqrencode". Is it really QR code encoding?

  Yep. It's because when you kernel panic most people do not feel like typing stuff off a screen. If you have a QR code on your monitor however you can easily scan it and it contains all the info about what is wrong. That's a pretty good feature if you ask me.

    That is a useful feature! The way it was written it sounded like QR codes were going into the logs.

    That's a Linux kernel feature, not a systemd feature. It's unrelated: http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/200-libby-clark/773488-opw-intern-develops-qr-code-for-linux-kernel-oops-messages http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/200-libby-clark/773... systemd has libqrencode integration, in order to, if I recall correctly, display a QR code when you generate FSS keys from journalctl.
