[PATCH] ARM: make kernel oops easier to read

While looking at a number of oopses recently, I've decided we can do a
little better with our output, without sacrificing any information -
and actually providing a bit more information than we did before using
slightly less characters. :)
This shouldn't break any scripts... "shouldn't"... :)

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: make kernel oops easier to read
We don't need the offset for the first function name in each backtrace
entry; this needlessly consumes screen space. This is virtually always
the first or second instruction in the called function.
Also, recognise stmfd instructions which include r10 as a valid stack
saving instruction, and when dumping the registers, dump six registers
per line rather than five, and fix the wrapping.
