I am enable to get one keyboard sequence responded to with the noted change
in the dts .
for instance:
SysRQ ( Break) c
Panics .. Which is a good response, and since it doesn't require a return
to user mode ( I suspect ) it appears to work.
Any other requests fail to report any information :
SysRQ (break ) l - list active processes
m - list memory
Any additional SysRQ are ignored., and the system appears hung.
On an reference Intel platform, multiple SyqRQ can be issued and the
system remains healthy .
