Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kmsg_dump: adding to reboot, halt, poweroff and
 emergency_restart path

 We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
 However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because
 final messages are lost on current Linux kernel.
 
 This patch improves the situation above because the final messages 
 are saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and 
 emergency_restart path.
