Great; thanks for looking at it!

A related issue I'm going to tackle is dealing with the risk of
ever-growing record counts for backends that don't treat their storage
as a circular buffer. (e.g. ramoops will overwrite the latest record
when it runs out of empty areas, but EFI will just keep on writing new
records.) It's clear we can't depend on userspace to do this clean-up.
I think pstore tossing the oldest records above a (configurable) limit
(say, 32) per dump type makes sense...
