==============================================================
+panic_print:
+
+Bitmask for printing system info when panic happens. User can chose
+combination of the following bits:
+
+bit 0: print all tasks info
+bit 1: print system memory info
+bit 2: print timer info
+bit 3: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
+bit 4: print ftrace buffer
+
+So for example to print tasks and memory info on panic, user can:
+ echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic_print

panic_on_rcu_stall:
When set to 1, calls panic() after RCU stall detection messages. This
