[PATCH 1/6] dump_stack: Support adding to the dump stack arch description

[Michael Ellerman]

Arch code can set a "dump stack arch description string" which is
displayed with oops output to describe the hardware platform.

It is useful to initialise this as early as possible, so that an early
oops will have the hardware description.

However in practice we discover the hardware platform in stages, so it
would be useful to be able to incrementally fill in the hardware
description as we discover it.

This patch adds that ability, by creating dump_stack_add_arch_desc().

If there is no existing string it behaves exactly like
dump_stack_set_arch_desc(). However if there is an existing string it
appends to it, with a leading space.

This makes it easy to call it multiple times from different parts of the
code and get a reasonable looking result.

If people are happy with this, ideally we'd take this via the powerpc tree with
the rest of the series.

There also might be a better way to implement it, if so I'm all ears, but I
think what I have here is at least correct.
