Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] powerpc/pseries: Read common partition via pstore
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:49:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130425101908.21017.32553.stgit@aruna-ThinkPad-T420> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130425100952.21017.51799.stgit@aruna-ThinkPad-T420>

This patch exploits pstore subsystem to read details of common partition
in NVRAM to a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, common partition
details will be stored in a file named [common-nvram-6].
