Help text

When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to, by default, generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event. You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the string together. This config parameter sets the default value to generate these events, the module parameter for ipmi_msghandler named panic_op can be set to "string" to chose this value, this config simply causes the default value to be set to "string".
