Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: process: dump memory around registers when displaying regs

From: Greg Hackmann <ghackmann@...gle.com>

Dump a block of kernel memory from around the registers in the kernel oops
dump. This is behind a config option (DEBUG_AROUND_REGS), since it adds
a bunch of noise to the kernel logs (which someone can find valuable but
not everyone else will).

This is extremely useful in diagnosing remote crashes, and is based heavily
on original work by Michael Davidson <md@...gle.com> and San Mehat
<san@...gle.com>.

Same as 1/2 but for arm64 architecture.

Changes since v1:
 - Did not exists.
