I think it is difficult, because die_chain is defined by each architecture.

This is my image of your proposal.
- Print current order
# cat /sys/class/misc/debug/panic_notifier_list
priority name
1 IPMI
2 watchdog
3 Kdb
4 Kdump
- change list order
# echo <before> <after> > /sys/class/debug/panic_notifier_list
- example
# cat /sys/class/misc/debug/panic_notifier_list
priority name
1 IPMI
2 watchdog
3 Kdb
4 Kdump
# echo 4 1 > /sys/class/debug/panic_notifier_list
priority name
1 Kdump
2 IPMI
3 watchdog
4 Kdb
Is my image almost same as your thought?
Thanks
