Subject: [PATCH] x86, add hypervisor name to dump_stack() [v4]

Debugging crash, panics, stack trace WARN_ONs, etc., from both virtual and
bare-metal boots can get difficult very quickly.  While there are ways to
decipher the output and determine if the output is from a virtual guest,
the in-kernel hypervisors now have a single registration point
and set x86_hyper.  We can use this to output additional debug
information during a panic/oops/stack trace.

[v2]: Modifications suggested by Ingo and added changes for similar output
      from process.c

[v3]: Unify common code and move output to end of line
