  The output goes into the kernel message buffer, which will appear on
the console, in dmesg, and some /var/log files depending on how you have
klogd setup...
  After hitting A-S-h you should see something like:

dmesg | tail -1
===
SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot tErm kIll saK showMem Off showPc unRaw
Sync showTasks Unmount 
===

  If you try the above and don't see the line it is probably being
turned off at runtime.

If you find any lines that appear to be doing the echo you can comment
them out, if you don't find a line you can put your own "echo 1 > " 
into the bootup sequence if you want...
