+/* nvram_write_error_log
+ *
+ * We need to buffer the error logs into nvram to ensure that we have
+ * the failure information to decode.  If we have a severe error there
+ * is no way to guarantee that the OS or the machine is in a state to
+ * get back to user land and write the error to disk.  For example if
+ * the SCSI device driver causes a Machine Check by writing to a bad
+ * IO address, there is no way of guaranteeing that the device driver
+ * is in any state that is would also be able to write the error data
+ * captured to disk, thus we buffer it in NVRAM for analysis on the
+ * next boot.
+ *
+ * In NVRAM the partition containing the error log buffer will looks like:
+ * Header (in bytes):
+ * +-----------+----------+--------+------------+------------------+
+ * | signature | checksum | length | name       | data             |
+ * |0          |1         |2      3|4         15|16        length-1|
+ * +-----------+----------+--------+------------+------------------+
+ *
+ * The 'data' section would look like (in bytes):
+ * +--------------+------------+-----------------------------------+
+ * | event_logged | sequence # | error log                         |
+ * |0            3|4          7|8            nvram_error_log_size-1|
+ * +--------------+------------+-----------------------------------+
+ *
+ * event_logged: 0 if event has not been logged to syslog, 1 if it has
+ * sequence #: The unique sequence # for each event. (until it wraps)
