[PATCH 3/3] pstore/ram: Add ECC support

[Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org>]

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

 The module uses a counter to record multiple dumps but the counter gets reset
 on restart (i.e. new dumps after the restart will overwrite old ones).
 
+Ramoops also supports software ECC protection of persistent memory regions.
+This might be useful when a hardware reset was used to bring the machine back
+to life (i.e. a watchdog triggered). In such cases, RAM may be somewhat
+corrupt, but usually it is restorable.

 2. Setting the parameters
 
 Setting the ramoops parameters can be done in 2 different manners:
