Hi Johannes, thanks for your prompt response, and for clearing a bit the
*huge* CC list, it got really humongous...

I agree with you here - I missed that there's also a reboot notifier in
"mconsole_kern.c", so seems it makes sense to keep the header. I'll fix
that for V2, ok? If it was only a panic notifier I would consider it
useless maybe, but we have non-panic notifier as well heh

Cheers,

Guilherme
