The problem with setting it by default is that the important information
(the panic message, or the function where the fault happended) may
be scrolled out of the screen by the stack trace. So I wouldn't
recommenend activating it by default.
the Xen kernels are a special case, becasue the console output
happens in an environnement where it's easy to scroll back.
