20 * Console output is controlled by OPAL firmware. The kernel regularly calls
21 * OPAL_POLL_EVENTS, which flushes some console output. In a panic state,
22 * however, the kernel no longer calls OPAL_POLL_EVENTS and the panic message
23 * may not be completely printed. This function does not actually dump the
24 * message, it just ensures that OPAL completely flushes the console buffer.

34 * so we don't need to do any special flushing.

49 * If OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH is not implemented in the firmware,
50 * the console can still be flushed by calling the polling
51 * function enough times to flush the buffer. We don't know
52 * how much output still needs to be flushed, but we can be
53 * generous since the kernel is in panic and doesn't need
54 * to do much else.
