Add support to let panic events such as taints trigger uevents.
If you don't have a journalctl -k -f window going and you're not
actively monitoring what is going on in the kernel you may not
realize that your kernel is hosed. Only those clueful that
something may be off might inspect the kernel logs. Since
not everyone is, add support to throw some bones to userspace
that something might be fishy.
Let userspace figure out how to inform users, and what to do.
