Hi Santosh, all,

the p-android-omap-3.0 doesn't have the persistent_trace but I was able 
to backport it from 3.4 without major issues (only tricky part is that 
in p-android-3.4 there's no apparent user of that device in omapzoom 
kernel).

The problem is now that the omap-watchdog doesn't kick the device to 
reboot but rather to shutdown, so I still have no trace. Soft-rebooting 
shows that I can get persistent_trace.

Switching the persistent tracer to ecc=true does not help as it seems to 
overload the device completely when activating the tracing.

Rgds,
Chris
