Subject: [PATCH] sysrq show-all-cpus

SysRQ-P is not always useful on SMP systems, since it usually ends up showing the
backtrace of a CPU that is doing just fine, instead of the backtrace of the CPU
that is having problems.

This patch adds SysRQ show-all-cpus(L), which shows the backtrace of every active
CPU in the system.  It skips idle CPUs because some SMP systems are just too large
and we already know what the backtrace of the idle task looks like.
