Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 21/63] powerpc/xmon: Fix an unexpected xmon
 on/off state change

From: Pan Xinhui <xinhui.pan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 3b5bf42b81d56085fd58692b5117f69aa77fdff7 ]

Once xmon is triggered by sysrq-x, it is enabled always afterwards even
if it is disabled during boot. This will cause a system reset interrupt
fail to dump. So keep xmon in its original state after exit.

We have several ways to set xmon on or off.
1) by a build config CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT.
2) by a boot cmdline with xmon or xmon=early or xmon=on to enable xmon
and xmon=off to disable xmon. This value will override that in step 1.
3) by a debugfs interface, as proposed in this patchset.
And this value can override those in step 1 and 2.
