Hi Andrew, good idea heheh
Thank you and all that reviewed the grammar/wording, certainly I can
change that and resubmit.

I kept the kernel parameter as a consistency thing - every sysctl
"*_all_cpubacktrace" has a respective kernel parameter, so I did the
same (and if we get an oops booting a new kernel, this is maybe useful
depending on the point we get the oops). But if it's a problem for you,
I can remove the kernel parameter, your choice.
Cheers,
Guilherme
