Angus Chen 6aee6723f1 init: add bdev fs printk if mount_block_root failed
Booting with the QEMU command line:
"qemu-system-x86_64 -append root=/dev/vda rootfstype=ext4 ..."
will panic if ext4 is not builtin and a request to load the ext4 module
fails.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
