RTAS error logging of EEH errors

[Nathan Fontenot]

I ended up leaving this on the stack because we call panic() right
after using the buffer.  The patch below changes this so that the
buffer is allocated.  If this is preferred let me know and I will
push the change to Ameslab.

I don't think this should be a statically defined buffer, no sense
in keeping around a buffer this big that will only be used once
right before we die.
