Additionally, on PPCs, you have another technique, which is to use
prom_print or xmon_printf() (the latest one support full printf semantics
while the first one only supports a simple string).
xmon might really be helpful, but the crash is after the X server blanks the
display, so I wonder if xmon output would be visible?
IIRC xmon output did show up on the serial console (similar X related
debugging last year on the Lombard).
