If a "dangerous" repair (repair of a readonly mounted fs)
has been done, suggest an immediate reboot upon completion.

TBH, I don't know how "dangerous" dangerous is.  Is this
still required?

Was there a crash or something after a repair that led to
this patch?

No, it was generated by a "bug" saying that it was impossible
to run fsck.xfs on a root filesystem.

That was largely an RTFM kind of thing but since it's normal
for some systems to come up w/ RO-root in rescue mode, and people
are used to being able to run e2fsck in that mode, it might be worth
adding a little help to our tool to accomplish the same thing.
