Simplify the message format by using REG_FMT as the register format.  This
avoids having two different formats and avoids checking for MSR_64BIT.

Are you sure it is what we want ?

Won't it change the behaviour for a 32 bits app running on a 64bits kernel ?

I think it better to use a space after the close "
and also the line continuation is unnecessary.

And spaces before the open quotes too.

I'd also prefer the format on a single line:

	pr_info("%s[%d]: unhandled signal %d at " REG_FMT " nip " REG_FMT " lr " REG_FMT " code %x\n",

Seeing as these are all unsigned long, a better way to do
this is to use %p and cast to pointer.

This might be better anyway as this output exposes pointer
addresses and instead would now use pointer hashed output.

	pr_info("%s[%d]: unhandled signal %d at %p nip %p lr %p code %x\n",
		current->comm, current->pid, signr,
		(void *)addr, (void *)regs->nip, (void *)regs->link, code);

Use %px if you _really_ need to emit unhashed addresses.
