Hi Akashi,

Some of the points which came while discussing with Mark Salter are worth
including in v13.

"non-panic" would be correct in stead of "non-boot".

"for panic cpu"

We have "set_cpu_online(cpu, false);" just before it.
Panic core is waiting for non-panic to go offline, i.e. for the above event.

However, we are still saving crash info for non-panic core. So, it would be good
to move crash_save_cpu() before set_cpu_online() to avoid any race condition.
