Subject: [PATCH][RFC] Sparc: Remove trigraph in die_if_kernel() message.

In arch/sparc/kernel/traps_32.c::do_priv_instruction() we have this:

  die_if_kernel("Penguin instruction from Penguin mode??!?!", regs);

If I'm not mistaken, that "??!" will be taken as a trigraph for "|" by the 
preprocessor, so the final string will end up either as
  "Penguin instruction from Penguin mode|?!"
which I assume is not what we want, or as the correct string but with a 
warning about an ignored trigraph which I assume we don't want either. So, 
in order to elliminate the trigraph but keep the original string intact I 
changed it to

  die_if_kernel("Penguin instruction from Penguin mode?""?!?!", regs);

I've tested with a small test program on my x86-64 host and it behaves as 
I would expect, but I've not tested the actual code in 
arch/sparc/kernel/traps_32.c since I have no way to compile for sparc 
(which is why I submit this as a [RFC] patch).

Please take a look and apply if you agree :-)
