After the ``sysrq_key_op`` is created, you can call the kernel function

it is currently registered in that slot. This is in case the slot has been

The Magic SysRQ system works by registering key operations against a key op
lookup table, which is defined in 'drivers/tty/sysrq.c'. This key table has
