The series looks good to me, I've applied the patches to 
tip:core/debug.

If Felipe Contreras's fix patch looks good to you then it would also 
be nice if you could send me that as well, on top of your patches.

That fix patch had only one remaining bug/problem, last I checked: if 
panic_timeout is turned into an early_param() then pause_on_oops 
should obviously also be turned into an early param. Changing just one 
of these parameters would be inconsistent and would lead to assymetric 
behavior in the early-crash case.

Thanks,
