Subject: [PATCH v2] [LBR] Dump LBRs on Exception

There are some cases where call stack and register dump are not enough to debug
a Panic.
Let's take the case of a stack corruption:

 static int corrupt_stack(void *data, u64 val)
 {
 long long ptr[1];

	asm ("");
	ptr[0]=0;
	ptr[1]=0;
	ptr[2]=0;
	ptr[3]=0;

	return -1;
 }

The standard Panic will report:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
