Subject: [patch] uml: better bugs

Get UML to use the generic bug support rather than arch specific one.

If I insert an artificial bug right before loading init, I get this:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Kernel mode signal 4

With this patch in place, this is how it looks:

BUG: failure at init/main.c:779/init_post()!
