Re: [PATCH][REGRESSION] panic: fix stack dump print on direct callto panic()

The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to
solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either
of the following conditions is true:

1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end())
This indicates and oops has already been printed.
2) oops_in_progress> 1
This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked
a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end()

Oops. I guess can just revert it for now. Thanks for catching, Jason.

The proper solution is probably some variant of
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-mce-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mce/xpanic

Let the caller pass in the proper action instead of all these hacks.
