ibm,os-term is used to tell RTAS that the OS has finished normal
operation. RTAS will enact the service policy at that point (for
example on old systems it would "call home").
I remember finding a bug (which I thought I fixed) that fixed a problem
w/ the schedule timeout in the panic code: Novell 75391.
