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