[PATCH] powerpc: Append linux_banner to exception information in xmon.

[PATCH] powerpc: Append linux_banner to exception information in xmon.

[Rashmica Gupta]

Currently if you are in xmon without an oops etc. to view the kernel version you have to type "d $linux_banner" - not necessarily obvious. As this is useful information, append to the output of "e" command.

This line should be word wrapped.

And can you include an example of the output in the change log?
