Using 'sys' command, we can view the panic message with general system
information. If we run RISCV64-based vmcore, PANIC message is not properly
displayed.
The reason is that "Unable to handle kernel" is first printed in the kernel log
when exception occurs in the RISC-V based Linux kernel. The corresponding
kernel commit is 21733cb518471.
