We don't change MMU once we're up, so just do this logic once and stash
it into a static string, rather than rechecking on every oops.

Do we really have oops so often that we have to worry about that ?

Sometimes :)

But no I don't mean it's a performance issue, it just seems simpler to
compute the value once and store it. In fact for most platforms it can
just be a static string at compile time, it's only 64-bit Book3S that
needs to do anything at runtime.
