[PATCH] print backtrace when entering xmon

[Olaf Hering]

xmon does not print a backtrace per default. This is bad on systems with 
USB keyboard, the most needed info about the crash is lost.
print a backtrace during the very first xmon entry.

Booting with xmon=nobt disables the autobacktrace functionality.
