[PATCH v1 1/6] Add oops notification chain.

[Mike Waychison]

From: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@xxxxxxxxxx>

Later firmware patches in this series would like to be able to be
notified whenever an oops occurs on the system, so that it can be
recorded in the boot log.

This patch introduces a notifier_block called "oops_notifier_list"
so that drivers can register to get called whenever an Oops is
triggered.
