Documentation: sysrq: don't recommend 'S' 'U' before 'B'
This advice is obsolete and slightly harmful for filesystems from this millenium: any modern filesystem can handle unexpected crashes without requiring fsck -- and on the other hand, trying to write to the disk when the kernel is in a bad state risks introducing corruption. For ext2, any unsafe shutdown meant widespread breakage, but it's no longer a reasonable filesystem for any non-special use.
