[PATCH 2/6] nvram: Capture oops/panic reports in ibm, oops-log partition

Sun Nov 14 15:15:21 EST 2010


Create the ibm,oops-log NVRAM partition, and capture the end of the printk
buffer in it when there's an oops or panic.  If we can't create the
ibm,oops-log partition, capture the oops/panic report in ibm,rtas-log.
