Subject: [PATCH V3 00/11] The panic notifiers refactor - fixes/clean-ups (V3)

Hey everybody, this the third iteration of the panic notifiers
fixes/clean-ups;

V2 available at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220719195325.402745-1-gpiccoli@igalia.com/

V1 (including the refactor) available at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220427224924.592546-1-gpiccoli@igalia.com/


There wasn't much change here compared to V2 (the specifics are in the
patches), but a global change is that I've rebased against 6.0-rc1.
One patch got merged in -next, another one was re-submit in a standalone
format (requested by maintainer), so both of these are not here anymore.


As usual, tested this series building for all affected architecture/drivers
and also through some boot/runtime tests; below the test "matrix" used:

Build tests (using cross-compilers): alpha, arm, arm64, parisc, um, x86_64.
Boot/Runtime tests: x86_64 (QEMU guests and Steam Deck).

Here is the link with the .config files used:
https://people.igalia.com/gpiccoli/panic_notifiers_configs/6.0-rc1/


About the merge strategy: I've noticed there is a difference in maintainers
preferences (and my preference as well), so I see 3 strategies for merge:

(a) Maintainers pick patches that are good from the series and merge in
their trees;

(b) Some maintainer would pick the whole series and merge, at once, given
that everything is fine/ack/reviewed.

(c) I must re-send patches individually once they are reviewed/acked, as
standalone patches to the relevant maintainers, so they can merge it in
their trees.

I'm willing to do what's best for everybody - (a) is my choice when possible,
(b) seems to stall things and potentially cause conflicts, (c) seems to be
the compromise. I'll do that as per preference of the respective maintainers.


As usual, reviews / comments are always welcome, thanks in advance for them!
Cheers,

Guilherme
