[RFC PATCH] powerpc: show registers when unwinding interrupt frames

It's often useful to know the register state for interrupts in
the stack frame. In the below example (with this patch applied),
the important information is the state of the page fault.

A blatant case like this probably rather should have the page
fault regs passed down to the warning, but quite often there are
less obvious cases where an interrupt shows up that might give
some more clues.

The downside is longer and more complex bug output.

  Bug: Write fault blocked by AMR!
