The patch set supports compression of oops messages while writing to NVRAM,
this helps in capturing more of oops data to lnx,oops-log. The pstore file
for oops messages will be in decompressed format making it readable.

In case compression fails, the patch takes care of copying the header added
by pstore and last oops_data_sz bytes of big_oops_buf to NVRAM so that we
have recent oops messages in lnx,oops-log.

In case decompression fails, it will result in absence of oops file but still
have files (in /dev/pstore) for other partitions.
Any reason that isn't handled by pstore itself rather than here ? Ie
make a flag indicating that the partition supports compression and have
pstore do it (so we don't compress everything such as ofw common etc...)

Cheers,
Ben.


Since pstore does not have the compression support, I planned to reuse the
existing compression code in nvram but later we can add compression support
to pstore so that other platforms can make use of it.

Aruna
