Currently, the log-level of show_stack() depends on a platform
realization. It creates situations where the headers are printed with
lower log level or higher than the stacktrace (depending on
a platform or user).

Furthermore, it forces the logic decision from user to an architecture
side. In result, some users as sysrq/kdb/etc are doing tricks with
temporary rising console_loglevel while printing their messages.
And in result it not only may print unwanted messages from other CPUs,
but also omit printing at all in the unlucky case where the printk()
was deferred.

Introducing log-level parameter and KERN_UNSUPPRESSED [1] seems
an easier approach than introducing more printk buffers.
Also, it will consolidate printings with headers.

Add log level argument to printk_address() as a preparation to introduce
show_stack_loglvl().

As a good side-effect show_fault_oops() now prints the address with
KERN_EMREG as the rest of output, making sure there won't be situation
where "PC: " is printed without actual address.

It would be more intuitive to do

	printk_address(KERN_ALERT, regs->pc, 1);

because the loglevel always comes first.

I guess it doesn't matter much, as sh seems to be rather dead.

The j-core guys are using it.

Yes. There are also Debian/SH folks using classic SH4.
