I'm finding this patch set a bit hard to follow, and I think it has more diff
than is necessary. For example, the first patch introduces a new die() only to
have it removed by the third patch. There's also some unnecessary
non-functional diff, like

@@ -149,12 +161,13 @@ int is_valid_bugaddr(unsigned long pc)
if (probe_kernel_address((bug_insn_t *)pc, insn))
return 0;
if ((insn & __INSN_LENGTH_MASK) == __INSN_LENGTH_32)
- return insn == __BUG_INSN_32;
+ return (insn == __BUG_INSN_32);
else
- return (insn & __COMPRESSED_INSN_MASK) == __BUG_INSN_16;
+ return ((insn & __COMPRESSED_INSN_MASK) == __BUG_INSN_16);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG */

+
void __init trap_init(void)
{
/*

I like the idea of the patch set, though. Do you have time to clean it up and
submit a v2?
