Subject: [PATCH 8/8] badpage: KERN_ALERT BUG instead of KERN_EMERG
bad_page() and rmap Eeek messages have said KERN_EMERG for a few years,
which I've followed in print_bad_pte(). These are serious system errors,
on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best
to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does.
And remove the "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" line:
it's not untrue, but I hope the KERN_ALERT "BUG: " conveys as much.
Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@...itas.com>

I've left this proposal until last, expecting some opposition.
Considered adding oops_begin() and oops_end(),
but I'm not at all sure that would work out well for these.
