On some architectures (e.g. arm64), it's preferable to use MMIO, since
this can be used standalone. Add MMIO support to the pvpanic driver.

By default, when ACPI tables and FDT coexist for ARM64,
current kernel takes precedence over FDT to get device information.
Virt machine in qemu provides both FDT and ACPI table. This patch
increases the way to get information through FDT.

In the Function documentation Section of kernel-doc.rst
there is a function_name() function as an example for
how to make a comment about a function.
But at the end of that example there is a reference to foobar
instead of function_name.
I think that should rather be function_name, because that
