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

26 * Outside of a panic context the pollers will continue to run,
27 * so we don't need to do any special flushing.
