Yes, I like the second approach: where we combine all shutdown type
events into a single type.
max_reason will have 4 levels:

   KMSG_DUMP_PANIC,
   KMSG_DUMP_OOPS,
   KMSG_DUMP_EMERG,
   KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN,

If needed it is possible to determine from dmesg logs what kind of
shutdown was taken, because there is a message logged right before
every kmsg_dump() for these events:

249   if (!cmd)
250   pr_emerg("Restarting system\n");
251   else
252   pr_emerg("Restarting system with command '%s'\n", cmd);
253   kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_RESTART);

276   pr_emerg("System halted\n");
277   kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_HALT);

294   pr_emerg("Power down\n");
295   kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_POWEROFF);

Kees, I will submit a new series with these changes soon.

Thank you,
Pasha
