Feng Tang d999bd9392 panic: add options to print system info when panic happens
Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's
not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.

And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to
provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline
parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
