[PATCH] documentation: update sysrq.txt magic sysrq keys

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Update Documentation/sysrq.txt magic sysrq keys:

- 'g' is for kgdb (not arch-specific);
- add 2 new uses for 'v', remove the Voyager info;
- add 'y' info (SPARC-64 specific);

If you take a look at commit: 364b5b7b1d793a7f98be55b6b154716dcae78dfc,
the voyager and kgdb bits were originally fixed there.  It was not
obvious to me at the time that this was documented in multiple places,
else it would have been fixed in the same commit.

Cheers,
Jason.
