/* nvram_write_error_log
 *
 * We need to buffer the error logs into nvram to ensure that we have
 * the failure information to decode.  If we have a severe error there
 * is no way to guarantee that the OS or the machine is in a state to
 * get back to user land and write the error to disk.  For example if
 * the SCSI device driver causes a Machine Check by writing to a bad
 * IO address, there is no way of guaranteeing that the device driver
 * is in any state that is would also be able to write the error data
 * captured to disk, thus we buffer it in NVRAM for analysis on the
 * next boot.
 *
 * In NVRAM the partition containing the error log buffer will looks like:
 * Header (in bytes):
 * +-----------+----------+--------+------------+------------------+
 * | signature | checksum | length | name       | data             |
 * |0          |1         |2      3|4         15|16        length-1|
 * +-----------+----------+--------+------------+------------------+
 *
 * The 'data' section would look like (in bytes):
 * +--------------+------------+-----------------------------------+
 * | event_logged | sequence # | error log                         |
 * |0            3|4          7|8            nvram_error_log_size-1|
 * +--------------+------------+-----------------------------------+
 *
 * event_logged: 0 if event has not been logged to syslog, 1 if it has
 * sequence #: The unique sequence # for each event. (until it wraps)
 * error log: The error log from event_scan
