No. The fallthrough keyword is only needed when there's code between case
labels. As it is very common to list multiple cases for the same code path.
That is:

	case DIE_OOPS:
 	case PANIC_NOTIFIER:
 		do_dump = 1;
 		break;

Does not need a fall through label, as there's no code between the DIE_OOPS
and the PANIC_NOTIFIER. But if you had:

	case DIE_OOPS:
		x = true;
 	case PANIC_NOTIFIER:
 		do_dump = 1;
 		break;

Then you do.
