Subject: Say what the -[ cut here ]- lines are called

The kernel should really say what the
------------[ cut here ]------------
lines are called, else users will say things like:

"I discovered that the user needs to use xrandr in _two_ steps for
certain resolutions, else he will trigger a
kernel:  ------------[ cut here ]------------ line."

instead of
"...will trigger a kernel problem."
"...will trigger a kernel fault."
"...will trigger a kernel oops."
or whatever it is supposed to be called.

So say e.g.,
------------[ cut here ]------------
Kernel fault:

etc. there in the syslog. Thanks.
