    Impact: More consistent behaviour, avoid policy in the kernel
    
    Upgrade/downgrade initrd/initramfs decompression failure from
    inconsistently a panic or a KERN_ALERT message to a KERN_EMERG event.
    It is, however, possible do design a system which can recover from
    this (using the kernel builtin code and/or the internal initramfs),
    which means this is policy, not a technical necessity.
    
    A good way to handle this would be to have a panic-level=X option, to
    force a panic on a printk above a certain level.  That is a separate
    patch, however.
