That purpose is already defeated. The machine cannot be deader than dead.
We could try to go through the device tree. But the machine just oopsed
quite likely doing just that, so this doesn't seem wise to me.

IMHO if we oops while frozen, chances are the system is going to die.
It certainly dies now. However, we must certainly not thaw if a valid
image is already on disk, lest we corrupt a filesystem.
