Re: [PATCH] documentation: update sysrq.txt magic sysrq keys

[Jason Wessel]

Acked-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If you take a look at commit: 364b5b7b1d793a7f98be55b6b154716dcae78dfc,
the voyager and kgdb bits were originally fixed there.  It was not
obvious to me at the time that this was documented in multiple places,
else it would have been fixed in the same commit.

Cheers,
Jason.
