v3.18-rc1: n900 battery discharged down to 2.97V
Hi! I left the machine on usb-networking for extended period of time. Unfortunately, Xfce screensaver kept screen busy, and kernel failed to kill the machine. At the end, hardware protections worked (I guess), but result is battery discharged down to 2.97V.

So you need some program which will monitor battery status and when battery status is empty it should turn of device. And that program should be part of the kernel, because kernel should protect hardware from damage. (And it should be perfectly ok to boot into init=/bin/bash...) Anyway, this was just friendly warning, so that you don't unneccessarily damage your battery...
