Makes sense. Will do.

I'm adding the ability for the EC to somewhat gracefully handle a
class of panics. The EC will enter "system safe mode" aka limp mode.
All tasks are disabled except for a few critical ones. The purpose of
this mode is to give the OS a couple of seconds to extract info about
the EC panic and shutdown as gracefully as possible. EC will still
force a reset after 2 seconds.

Since the EC is in a precarious, non deterministic state and the EC is
at least partially responsible for thermal and power regulation, it is
arguably a hardware protection event.

The primary motivation for allowing the OS to attempt an orderly
shutdown is to sync user data and EC panic data to storage. Will panic
sync storage? Or will that need to be a seperate call?

Could certainly move the ACPI_NOTIFY_CROS_EC_PANIC to the top. I think
'value' will be 0x80 when there's MKBP events. I will validate this
assumption.

EC just immediately resets the AP and itself. System safe mode (see
go/ec-system-safe-mode) will allow the EC to run a few seconds after
some types of crashes.
