pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore object
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.
