A secured user-space accessible pstore object. Writes
to /dev/pmsg0 are appended to the buffer, on reboot
the persistent contents are available in
/sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-[ID].
One possible use is syslogd, or other daemon, can
write messages, then on reboot provides a means to
triage user-space activities leading up to a panic
as a companion to the pstore dmesg or console logs.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
<ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.
On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit from the pstore filesystem.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Decoding the binary trace w/ a different kernel might be troublesome
since we convert addresses to symbols. For kernels with minimal changes,
the mappings would probably match, but it's not guaranteed at all.
(But still we could convert the addresses by hand, since we do print
raw addresses.)
If we use modules, the symbols could be loaded at different addresses
from the previously booted kernel, and so this would also fail, but
there's nothing we can do about it.
Also, the binary data format that pstore/ram is using in its ringbuffer
may change between the kernels, so here we too must ensure that we're
running the same kernel.
So, there are two questions really:
1. How to compute the unique kernel tag;
2. Where to store it.
In this patch we're using LINUX_VERSION_CODE, just as hibernation
(suspend-to-disk) does. This way we are protecting from the kernel
version mismatch, making sure that we're running the same kernel
version and patch level. We could use CRC of a symbol table (as
suggested by Tony Luck), but for now let's not be that strict.
And as for storing, we are using a small trick here. Instead of
allocating a dedicated buffer for the tag (i.e. another prz), or
hacking ram_core routines to "reserve" some control data in the
buffer, we are just encoding the tag into the buffer signature
(and XOR'ing it with the actual signature value, so that buffers
not needing a tag can just pass zero, which will result into the
plain old PRZ signature).

Headers should really include all the needed prototypes, types, defines
etc. to be self-contained. This is a long-standing issue, but apparently
the new tracing code unearthed it (SMP=n is also a prerequisite):
In file included from fs/pstore/internal.h:4:0,
from fs/pstore/ftrace.c:21:
include/linux/pstore.h:43:15: error: field ‘read_mutex’ has incomplete type
While at it, I also added the following:
linux/types.h -> size_t, phys_addr_t, uXX and friends
linux/spinlock.h -> spinlock_t
linux/errno.h -> Exxxx
linux/time.h -> struct timespec (struct passed by value)
struct module and rs_control forward declaration (passed via pointers).

The struct members were never used anywhere outside of
persistent_ram_init_ecc(), so there's actually no need for them
to be in the struct.
If we ever want to make polynomial or symbol size configurable,
it would make more sense to just pass initialized rs_decoder
to the persistent_ram init functions.

Registering the platform driver before module_init allows us to log oopses
that happen during device probing.
This requires changing module_init to postcore_initcall, and switching
from platform_driver_probe to platform_driver_register because the
platform device is not registered when the platform driver is registered;
and because we use driver_register, now can't use create_bundle() (since
it will try to register the same driver once again), so we have to switch
to platform_device_register_data().
Also, some __init -> __devinit changes were needed.
Overall, the registration logic is now much clearer, since we have only
one driver registration point, and just an optional dummy device, which
is created from the module parameters.

Without the update, we'll only see the new dmesg buffer after the
reboot, but previously we could see it right away. Making an oops
visible in pstore filesystem before reboot is a somewhat dubious
feature, but removing it wasn't an intentional change, so let's
restore it.
For this we have to make persistent_ram_save_old() safe for calling
multiple times, and also extern it.

Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character
devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore.
The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed
because of the move:
1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course.
2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this
is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver
(i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still
work).
