[PATCH 0/4] sparc64: Jump to boot prom from console on panic

[Vijay Kumar]

Here is the cover posting for  the patches. I did not send cover patch initially
as I thought that patch descriptions were self explanatory. But I agree, this would
help  in overall understanding of the patch.

Currently Stop-A (L1A) does not make the kernel switch to OBP on panic. This
patchset addresses this issue. Also, now we can cause a jump to OBP by sending
'break' twice from sunhv console. On bare metal, one can send a break by
typing Esc + 'B' + Sysrq (or whatever). On LDOM, press Ctrl + ] in telnet,
and then "send break" at the telnet prompt.
