no_context() has the following line, right before it calls oops_end():

	/* Executive summary in case the body of the oops scrolled away */
	printk(KERN_DEFAULT "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

I think that line can now be removed, since the executive summary
__show_regs() will include CR2.

Was moving the show_regs() call intentional?  I didn't see it mentioned
in the changelog.

Doesn't this hunk belong in the previous patch, which added the
__show_regs -> show_ip() -> show_opcodes() call path?
