Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] arm: process: dump memory around registers when displaying regs
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>.

This is a second version of a patch that was initially sent by John Stultz
in 2010[1], current version is a rework trying to address the feedback
received in the first version. We're still carrying this patch on recent
chromeos kernels and find it useful. This is a second attempt to try
to get this acceptable, so waiting for your feedback, and I hope I'll be
able to do the modifications needed.
Changes since v1:
- Use dump_mem() to dump memory.
- Put the code behind a config option.
