Subject: [PATCH v2 20/23] netoops: Add x86 specific bits to packet headers

We need to be able to gather information about the CPUs that caused the crash.

This commit only handles x86, but it is desirable to come up with some new
packet format that can accommodate any architecture.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@...gle.com>

TODO: This should be made more general to other architectures.  As is, we are
probably okay exporting some value for the 'arch' field.  Different
architectures though will likely want to gather different data.
