The patch titled
Subject: panic: add an option to replay all the printk messages in buffer
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it had testing failures

From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: panic: add an option to replay all the printk messages in buffer
Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out
new printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic().
Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to see
all dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due
to the loglevel setting, which will help debugging too.
Thanks to Petr Mladek as somes codes come directly from the sample
code in his review comments.
