Anton Vorontsov 1894a253db ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c
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).

config PSTORE
bool "Persistent store support"
default n
help
This option enables generic access to platform level
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
say N.
config PSTORE_RAM
tristate "Log panic/oops to a RAM buffer"
depends on HAS_IOMEM
depends on PSTORE
default n
help
This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular
buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.
Note that for historical reasons, the module will be named
"ramoops.ko".
