pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
