I would like to see the code which will get executed after panic and before crash_kexec(). This potentially makes crash dump feature unreliable in the sense one can now register on panic_notifier_list and try to do whole lot of things and might get stuck there. After the system has crashed, one is not supposed to do a whole lot.
