This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability" features.

Does it really make sense to do this under a config option? I don't see
why anyone would not want to know that their machine is about to melt.

You can only have that when running on bare metal. Machines that run
on a hypervisor can't run that code.

Well, it's harmless to build it in even on hypervisor systems, right?

It probably makes sense to auto-select that option for CONFIG_CELL_BLADE
though.

Sounds like a reasonable trade-off.
