    pvpanic: Set high notifier priority · 7939831e
    Takashi Iwai authored
    
    We've observed the missing pvpanic call at panic, and it turned out
    that this was blocked by the broken notifier of drm_fb_helper, where
    scheduling may be called during switching to the fb console.
    It's fairly difficult to fix the drm_fb problem and a quick fix isn't
    foreseen, a simpler solution for the missing pvpanic call would be
    just to call this earlier.
    
    In order to assure that, this patch sets a higher priority to pvpanic
    notifier_block.  Once when the issue of drm_fb is resolved, we can
    remove this priority again.
