[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 0/3] drm: Add panic handling

[Noralf Trønnes]

This patchset adds a way for DRM drivers to display kernel messages
during panic().

I had a Windows blue screen last year and remembered this patchset, so I
did a new version that I never got around to put out. Now that panic
handling came up on the ML, I'm sending it out as part of the discussion.

TODO:
Determine which part of the framebuffer that is actually visible. I
don't know enough about KMS to do this. See drm_panic_kmsg_render_screen().

Testing:
I have tested[1] using the formats and resolutions support by vc4 and
modetest. I have even recorded it[2]. RG24 and BG24 gave an unexpected
result, not sure what to make of it.

Noralf.
