From: Hendrik Brueckner The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications like vim. To allow users to send ^O to the terminal, this patch introduces a check if ^O is pressed again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set. In this case, clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty. (The old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^0 has been entered, and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)
