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.
But we already have a panic notifier list. Why create a new one?
What's wrong with the existing one that doesn't work properly for you?
AFAICT, the panic notifier list doesn't get called on oops.
