panic() has a uniform prompt, like "Kernel panic - not syncing:". That's
easy to indicate a panic there. But die() message doesn't have.

We died thousands machine with very different reasons weekly. w/o a prompt
in dmesg, it's hard to write scripts to collect and anaylis the die reasons.
That makes admins' life pretty hard.

A uniform die() prompt could make the life of system administrators far more
easier.
