Use this option carefully, maybe worth to setup a
bigger log buffer with "log_buf_len" along with this.
+ panic_sys_info= A comma separated list of extra information to be dumped
+ on panic.
+ Format: val[,val...]
+ Where @val can be any of the following:
+
+ tasks: print all tasks info
+ mem: print system memory info
+ timers: print timers info
+ locks: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
+ ftrace: print ftrace buffer
+ all_bt: print all CPUs backtrace (if available in the arch)
+ blocked_tasks: print only tasks in uninterruptible (blocked) state
+
+ This is a human readable alternative to the 'panic_print' option.
+
parkbd.port= [HW] Parallel port number the keyboard adapter is
connected to, default is 0.
Format: <parport#>
