Ah, I've managed to forget to mention that I didn't add the port name
into the message in v2. I experimented a bit - it's getting a bit
complicated how-to protect (char *name) for just this message.
Like, SysRq can be theoretically enabled on two serials at the same
moment - so some locking is needed to make the printed name sane.

As sysrq_toggle_support() is a global-enable knob for sysrq (also can be
switched in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq) I'm not sure if it's worth to
complicate code to print through which serial console SysRq has been
enabled.

I can still do it in v3 if you insist.

And sorry about forgetting to mention this - thought I'll write reply
after I send v2 and somehow it slipped my mind.

Thanks,
