Subject: [PATCH v6 04/15] MIPS: traps: Give more explanations if ebase doesn't belong to KSEG0

With the expanded support for placing the kernel in XPHYS rather than
just KSEG0, scenarios where ebase doesn't belong to KSEG0 are more
likely to occur. In such cases, we currently experience a substantial
and perplexing stack dump without any accompanying explanation. To
rectify this, we aim to replace the uninformative stack dump with a
warning that offers a clear explanation of the issue.
