This is a small patch to add diagnostic exception dumps.
I'm not really happy with this. Having code in the architecture HAL
that calls up into the infra package is a violation of the layering of
the system. I am also concerned that the act of calling diag_printf()
will provoke another exception, which will put the system into a loop.
I thought this to be OK as there is such an option in the ARM port. I
tried to use the GDB stub but didn't have much success yet, so I added
the dump. My problem is that I have been running a simple test for
several hours/days, which crashes due to a bus fault. I need to
investigate in that more, but it seems there is a bug in the port, as
the application does not do much more than reading from a serial and
writing to the diagnostic serial.
