Use of die_notifiers is a debugging feature that is only used if
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is set. For a kernel without debugging there is no
need of die notifiers. This will generate no code for notify_die if
debugging is not on. Seems that there is an expectation that future distro
releases will have CONFIG_KPROBES on. They will therefore also have
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL set and thus the die notifiers will work and the
notifier will be enabled in do_ia64_page_fault.
