    Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit
    
    Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
    slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
    in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
    oops.
    
    It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
    end of pagefault triggered oopses:
    
     	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);
    
    Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
    digital-camera jpegs ;-)
    
    The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
    variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
    crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.
    
    This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
    function a lot nicer read.
