[MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD device
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes. These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash. This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages are obtained by registering a console driver and checking oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the chances of a saving messages. To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x is the mtd device number to use).
