Subject: [rfc] disable scheduler warnings during oopses.

The panic-on-framebuffer code seems to cause a schedule
to occur during an oops. This causes a bunch of extra
spew as can be seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=549230

Would this (untested) patch be sufficient here, or does the drm
code need rearchitecting to not perform allocations during panic ?
