The following patch removes Alt-Sysrq-L and its associated hack to kill of PID1, the init process. This is a mis-feature. If PID1 is killed, the kernel immediately enters an infinite loop in the depths of do_exit() with interrupts disabled, completely locking the machine. Obviously you can only reach for the reset button or power switch after this, leaving you with dirty filesystems.
