Hi Mete,

the move itself is right. with the weak function from patch 1 the
asm/bug.h hunk goes away, and the asm/setup.h hunk deleting a blank
line is unrelated churn that shouldnt be here either. what remains:

suggestion only, no SoB from me, its yours to fold into v3.

note the Stop A message now prints after the "end Kernel panic"
marker instead of before it. thats the call site from patch 1 doing
that, im ok with it, but it wants a sentence in the changelog.

with the stray hunks gone this looks good to me.
Thanks!
