RTAS error log sequence numbers

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi,

We can end up reusing RTAS error log sequence numbers - by calling
log_error out of rtas_call before we have done nvram_init. eg on a p630
with a graphics card it doesnt like:

RTAS: event: 1, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
...
PCI: Probing PCI hardware
RTAS: event: 2, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 3, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 4, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 5, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 6, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 7, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 8, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 9, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 10, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 11, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 12, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 13, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 14, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 15, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 16, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 17, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 18, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 19, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 20, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 21, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 22, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 23, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 24, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 25, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 26, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 27, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 28, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 29, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 30, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 31, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 32, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 33, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 34, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 35, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 36, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
RTAS: event: 37, Type: Internal Device Failure, Severity: 5
...
RTAS daemon started
RTAS: event: 42, Type: Unknown, Severity: 2

On reboot we get the same 1-37 error logs then the last one at 43. Maybe
we dont care about persistent error log numbers but I thought Id check
that the tools handle it OK.
