Note that the vmhalt function is only triggered after a user-initiated

Bummer! I guess that's a memory fault on my side then...
Don't you agree it would be extremely useful to have a vmoops=
function then? If the kernel is still vital enough to show a trace
back and what have you, then I would be able to issue a diag8 (even
ignoring the response). The alternative is that people set up separate
things to monitor for servers sitting in CP READ (like HMF can do) or
watch the console with SCIF, or simply issue SEND CP xx IPL to any
Linux that appears to be unresponsive... :-(
