Subject: [PATCH] x86: make oops_begin and oops_end equal

Mostly use the x86_64 version of oops_begin() and oops_end() on
i386 too. Changes to the original x86_64 version:

 - move add_taint(TAINT_DIE) into oops_end()
 - add a conditional crash_kexec() into oops_end()

Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@...tmail.fm>
