This is already in -mm:

================================================================================
From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add early i386 fault handlers with debug information for common faults.
Handles:

divide error
invalid opcode
protection fault
page fault

Also adds code to detect early recursive/multiple faults and halt the
system when they happen (taken from x86_64.)
