Use `memcpy` since `console_buf` is not expected to be NUL-terminated
and it more accurately describes what is happening with the buffers
`console_buf` and `string` as per Kees' analysis [1].

Also mark char buffer as `__nonstring` as per Kees' suggestion [2].

This change now makes it more clear what this code does and that
`console_buf` is not expected to be NUL-terminated.

<title>um: Improve panic notifiers consistency and ordering</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently the panic notifiers from user mode linux don't follow
the convention for most of the other notifiers present in the
kernel (indentation, priority setting, numeric return).
More important, the priorities could be improved, since it's a
special case (userspace), hence we could run the notifiers earlier;
user mode linux shouldn't care much with other panic notifiers but
the ordering among the mconsole and arch notifier is important,
given that the arch one effectively triggers a core dump.

Fix that by running the mconsole notifier as the first panic
notifier, followed by the architecture one (that coredumps).

<title>kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers</title>

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

<title>um: Support dynamic IRQ allocation</title>

It's cumbersome and error-prone to keep adding fixed IRQ numbers,
and for proper device wakeup support for the virtio/vhost-user
support we need to have different IRQs for each device. Even if
in theory two IRQs (with and without wake) might be sufficient,
it's much easier to reason about it when we have dynamic number
assignment. It also makes it easier to add new devices that may
dynamically exist or depending on the configuration, etc.

Add support for this, up to 64 IRQs (the same limit as epoll FDs
we have right now). Since it's not easy to port all the existing
places to dynamic allocation (some data is statically initialized)
keep the low numbers are reserved for the existing hard-coded IRQ
numbers.

The mconsole code only ever accesses proc for the initial pid
namespace.  Instead of depending upon the proc_mnt which is
for proc_flush_task have uml create it's own mount of proc
instead.

This allows proc_flush_task to evolve and remove the
need for having a proc_mnt to do it's job.
