Subject: no sysrq on Cell QS21/QS22 serial console
From: olh@suse.de
References: 422987 - LTC47675, 96313 - LTC16841
Patch-mainline: not yet


a POWER4 system in 'full-system-partition' mode has the console device
on ttyS0. But the user interface to the Linux system console may still
be on the hardware management console (HMC). If this is the case, there
is no way to send a break to trigger a sysrq.
Other setups do already use 'ctrl o' to trigger sysrq. This includes iSeries
virtual console on tty1 or hvc0, and pSeries LPAR console on hvc0 or hvsi0.

This affects also Cell Blades QS2x.

To limit the 'ctrl o' only to the affected systems, query the model property
in the device-tree. The patch makes the serial console not-eight-bit-clean.
Booting with 'console=ttyS0' will disable 'ctrl o', it is only enabled
with console autodetection.

'ctrl o' is currently mapped to 'flush output', see 'stty -a'
