Xen devel - Mar 2006 - [patch] print panic message before trapping to debugger

I''ve found it useful to display the panic message *before* dropping
into the
debugger. Once there it may be very difficult to find the original message, 
and often a debugger isn''t even needed if you can see what panicked.
