Hmm, that will not be acceptable since the control of blinking speed
becomes difficult with long spin timer mode.
However, I agree to your opinion that it is not the best answer to
prepare purposely a new parameter for such a rare situation.

So, I changed that the time calls to mdelay will be automatically
switched to longer if the speed of blinking is slow enough. The
kernel parameter (panic_longspin) becomes no longer necessary.
I will soon post the PATCH v2.
