Some userland might want to execute e.g. 'w' (show blocked tasks), followed
by 's' (sync), followed by 1000 ms delay and then followed by 'c' (crash)
upon a single magic SysRq. Or one might want to execute the famous "Raising
Elephants Is So Utterly Boring" action. This patch adds a configurable
handler, triggered with 'C', for this exact purpose. The user specifies the
composition of the compound action using syntax similar to getopt, where
each letter corresponds to an individual action and a colon followed by a
number corresponds to a delay of that many milliseconds, e.g.:

ws:1000c

or

r:100eis:1000ub

Cute, but why?  Who needs/wants this type of thing?

And again, no documentation :(
