Re: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Use seq_buf to avoid pr_cont() in __die()

Using pr_cont() risks having our output interleaved with other output
from other CPUs. Instead use a seq_buf to construct the line and then
print it as a whole.
Why not simply doing a single printk() or similar on the same model as X86 for instance ? (https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc1/source/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c#L368)
