+OPAL_SYNC_HOST_REBOOT
+=====================
+
+static int64_t opal_sync_host_reboot(void)
+
+This OPAL call halts asynchronous operations in preparation for something
+like kexec. It will halt DMA as well notification of some events (such
+as a new error log being available for retreival).
+
+It's meant to be called in a loop until OPAL_SUCCESS is returned.
+
+Returns:
+- OPAL_SUCCESS: Success!
+- OPAL_BUSY_EVENT: not yet complete, call opal_sync_host_reboot() again, possibly with a short delay.
+- OPAL_BUSY: Call opal_poll_events() and then retry opal_sync_host_reboot
