+callhome:
+
+Controls the kernel's callhome behavior in case of a kernel panic.
+
+The s390 hardware allows an operating system to send a notification
+to a service organization (callhome) in case of an operating system panic.
+
+When the value in this file is 0 (which is the default behavior)
+nothing happens in case of a kernel panic. If this value is set to "1"
+the complete kernel oops message is send to the IBM customer service
+organization in case the mainframe the Linux operating system is running
+on has a service contract with IBM.
