Notifiers respect the priority concept, which is just a number that
orders the list addition (and the list is called in order).
I've used the last position to panic_print() [in patch 25] - one idea
here is to "reserve" the last position (represented by INT_MIN) for
notifiers that act like kmsg_dump(). I couldn't find any IIRC, but that
doesn't prevent us to save this position and comment about that.
Makes sense to you ?
Cheers!
