Seems all this infrastructure could be profitably ripped out and
replaced with the more powerful and flexible ftrace events stuff...

Doesn't seem like this was meant to go into the upstream submission?
Seems like it would be worth going over the patches again and cleaning
up everything that is solely for compatibility with old kernels.

I don't think random PCI device drivers hooking into the panic notifier
chain is really a good idea, so probably ripping this out for now is the
best thing to do.
