#     powerpc/setup: Refactor/untangle panic notifiers
#     
#     The panic notifiers infrastructure is a bit limited in the scope of
#     the callbacks - basically every kind of functionality is dropped
#     in a list that runs in the same point during the kernel panic path.
#     This is not really on par with the complexities and particularities
#     of architecture / hypervisors' needs, and a refactor is ongoing.
#     
#     As part of this refactor, it was observed that powerpc has 2 notifiers,
#     with mixed goals: one is just a KASLR offset dumper, whereas the other
#     aims to hard-disable IRQs (necessary on panic path), warn firmware of
#     the panic event (fadump) and run low-level platform-specific machinery
#     that might stop kernel execution and never come back.
#     
#     Clearly, the 2nd notifier has opposed goals: disable IRQs / fadump
#     should run earlier while low-level platform actions should
#     run late since it might not even return. Hence, this patch decouples
#     the notifiers splitting them in three:
#     
#     - First one is responsible for hard-disable IRQs and fadump,
#     should run early;
#     
#     - The kernel KASLR offset dumper is really an informative notifier,
#     harmless and may run at any moment in the panic path;
#     
#     - The last notifier should run last, since it aims to perform
#     low-level actions for specific platforms, and might never return.
#     It is also only registered for 2 platforms, pseries and ps3.
#     
#     The patch better documents the notifiers and clears the code too,
#     also removing a useless header.
#     
#     Currently no functionality change should be observed, but after
#     the planned panic refactor we should expect more panic reliability
#     with this patch.
