Subject: [PATCH] x86, add hypervisor name to dump_stack()

Debugging crash, panics, stack trace WARN_ONs, etc., from both virtual and
bare-metal boots can get difficult very quickly.  While there are ways to
decipher the output and determine if the output is from a virtual guest,
the in-kernel hypervisors now have a single registration point and set
x86_hyper.  We can use this to output a single extra line on virtual
machines that indicates the hypervisor type.
