scripts: script from kerneloops.org to pretty print oops dumps

Browse source 
We're struggling all the time to figure out where the code came from that
oopsed..  The script below (a adaption from a script used by
kerneloops.org) can help developers quite a bit, at least for non-module
cases.

It works and looks like this:

[/home/arjan/linux]$ dmesg | perl scripts/markup_oops.pl vmlinux
 {
 	struct agp_memory *memory;

 	memory = agp_allocate_memory(agp_bridge, pg_count, type);
 c055c10f:	89 c2                	mov    %eax,%edx
 	if (memory == NULL)
 c055c111:	74 19                	je     c055c12c <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x30>
 /* This function must only be called when current_controller != NULL */
 static void agp_insert_into_pool(struct agp_memory * temp)
 {
 	struct agp_memory *prev;

 	prev = agp_fe.current_controller->pool;
 c055c113:	a1 ec dc 8f c0       	mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
*c055c118:	8b 40 10             	mov    0x10(%eax),%eax     <----- faulting instruction

 	if (prev != NULL) {
 c055c11b:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
 c055c11d:	74 05                	je     c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28>
 		prev->prev = temp;
 c055c11f:	89 50 04             	mov    %edx,0x4(%eax)
 		temp->next = prev;
 c055c122:	89 02                	mov    %eax,(%edx)
 	}
 	agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp;
 c055c124:	a1 ec dc 8f c0       	mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
 c055c129:	89 50 10             	mov    %edx,0x10(%eax)
 	if (memory == NULL)
 		return NULL;

 	agp_insert_into_pool(memory);

so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller
pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects...
Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this
script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use.

Caveats:
* It only works for oopses not-in-modules
* It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
* It's not very fast.
* It only works on x86
