Using "magic sysrq" within x3270 we can show "Blocked Tasks" which can helpful
in case a login is not possible. So far this approach has been done for s390x
z/VM which seems to be about the hardest platform to debug so it is most
likely most useful there.

Verification run: http://lord.arch.suse.de/tests/768#step/reconnect_s390/6

This improvement is really needed for any test on z/VM: too hard to tell what's going on when test failed at no login shown

Please any maintainer merge it?
