f8feafeaee pstore/blk: Introduce "best_effort" mode 
In order to use arbitrary block devices as a pstore backend, provide a
new module param named "best_effort", which will allow using any block
device, even if it has not provided a panic_write callback.

7dcb7848ba pstore/blk: Support non-block storage devices 
Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls
pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself.

In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices,
where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no
way to remove records stored to an MTD.

1525fb3bb6 pstore/blk: Provide way to query pstore configuration 
In order to configure itself, the MTD backend needs to be able to query
the current pstore configuration. Introduce pstore_blk_get_config() for
this purpose.

335426c6dc pstore/zone: Provide way to skip "broken" zone for MTD devices 
One requirement to support MTD devices in pstore/zone is having a
way to declare certain regions as broken. Add this support to
pstore/zone.

The MTD driver should return -ENOMSG when encountering a bad region,
which tells pstore/zone to skip and try the next one.

17639f67c1 pstore/blk: Introduce backend for block devices 
pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.

The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
  regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
  increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
  devices.

pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.
