A handy function that we will use outside of ram_core soon. But
so far just factor it out and start using it in post_init().

Without the update, we'll only see the new dmesg buffer after the
reboot, but previously we could see it right away. Making an oops
visible in pstore filesystem before reboot is a somewhat dubious
feature, but removing it wasn't an intentional change, so let's
restore it.
For this we have to make persistent_ram_save_old() safe for calling
multiple times, and also extern it.

This is now straightforward: just introduce a module parameter and pass
the needed value to persistent_ram_new().

This is a first step for adding ECC support for pstore RAM backend: we
will use the persistent_ram routines, kindly provided by Google.
Basically, persistent_ram is a set of helper routines to deal with the
[optionally] ECC-protected persistent ram regions.
A bit of Makefile, Kconfig and header files adjustments were needed
because of the move.

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).
