    powerpc: Fix kernel log of oops/panic instruction dump · 40c8cefa
    Ira Snyder authored
    A kernel oops/panic prints an instruction dump showing several
    instructions before and after the instruction which caused the
    oops/panic.
    
    The code intended that the faulting instruction be enclosed in angle
    brackets, however a bug caused the faulting instruction to be
    interpreted by printk() as the message log level.
    
    To fix this, the KERN_CONT log level is added before the actual text of
    the printed message.
