ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c
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).

ramoops: use pstore interface
Instead of using /dev/mem directly and forcing userspace to know (or
extract) where the platform has defined persistent memory, how many slots
it has, the sizes, etc, use the common pstore infrastructure to handle
Oops gathering and extraction. This presents a much easier to use
filesystem-based view to the memory region. This also means that any
other tools that are written to understand pstore will automatically be
able to process ramoops too.

This is a transition patch to keep things bisectable, just moves
some routines under '#ifndef MODULE'. The code inside the #ifndef
will go away soon, but so far we must support pstore and ram_console.
So, we are about to use persistent_ram with pstore, with the ability
to compile persistent_ram routines as modules. Some parts of
persistent_ram uses memblock_reserve() routine, which is should be
only used built-in code, and thus it is not exported.
These persistent_ram bits are only used by Android's ram_console,
which is always built-in.

This includes devices' memory (e.g. framebuffers or memory mapped
EEPROMs on a local bus), as well as the normal RAM that we don't use
for the main memory.
For the normal (but unused) ram we could use kmaps, but this assumes
highmem support, so we don't bother and just use the memory via
ioremap.
As a side effect, the following hack is possible: when used together
with pstore_ram (new ramoops) module, we can limit the normal RAM region
with mem= and then point ramoops to use the rest of the memory, e.g.
mem=128M ramoops.mem_address=0x8000000
Sure, we could just reserve the region with memblock_reserve() early in
the arch/ code, and then register a pstore_ram platform device pointing
to the reserved region. It's still a viable option if platform wants
to do so.
Also, we might want to use IO accessors in case of a real device,
but for now we don't bother (the old ramoops wasn't using it either, so
at least we don't make things worse).

persistent_ram: Fix buffer size clamping during writes
This is a longstanding bug, almost unnoticeable when calling
persistent_ram_write() for small buffers.
But when called for large data buffers, the write routine behaves
incorrectly, as the size may never update: instead of clamping
the size to the maximum buffer size, buffer_size_add_clamp() returns
an error (which is never checked by the write routine, btw).
To fix this, we now use buffer_size_add() that actually clamps the
size to the max value.
Also remove buffer_size_add_clamp(), it is no longer needed.

staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v3)
This changes the log initialization to be dynamic, but still
at boot time. These changes are a predecessor to implementing
runtime allocation and freeing of logs, to make the Android logger
less hard-coded.
Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list. Return proper error numbers on log
allocation failure.

staging: delete all duplicated endian crap from rtl8712 driver
This driver had headers like big_endian.h, little_endian.h, swab.h
and yet we can throw them all in the trash can and the thing
still builds on x86-64 and ppc, just by deleting the references
to the deleted files.
