Subject: [PATCH] x86/dumpstack: uniform die messages

From: Alex Shi <alexs@...nel.org>

panic() has a uniform preempt, like "Kernel panic - not syncing:". But
die() doesn't have.

We died thousands machine with very different reasons. With current die
messages in dmesg, it's hard to write scripts to collect and anaylis the
die reasons. So we'd better give die() a uniform preempt to make the
life of system administrators a bit easier.
