I'll work on it. We tend not to have essay length messages as panic() strings. But I can
add a comment in the code there so that people who grep whatever panic message
we choose can get more details on what happened and what to do.
I did not mean to write an essay but to simply make it more palatable
for "normal" users. Something like:

"PANIC: Second machine check exception while accessing user data."

or along those lines to explain *why* the machine panics.
