[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: initialize xen panic handler for PVHVM

[Vaughan Cao <vaughan.cao@xxxxxxxxxx>]

kernel use callback linked in panic_notifier_list to notice others when panic
happens.
NORET_TYPE void panic(const char * fmt, ...){
    ...
    atomic_notifier_call_chain(&panic_notifier_list, 0, buf);
}
When xen aware this, it will call xen_reboot(SHUTDOWN_crash) to send out an
event with reason code - SHUTDOWN_crash.
xen_panic_handler_init() is defined to register on panic_notifier_list but
we only call it in xen_arch_setup which only be called by pvm, this patch is
 necessary for pvhvm.
