Why should we need pstore_block?
1. Most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs. We perfer to cheaper solutions, like block devices.
In fast, there is already a sample for block device logger in driver
MTD (drivers/mtd/mtdoops.c).
2. Do not any equipment have battery, which means that it lost all data
on general ram if power failure. Pstore has little to do for these
equipments.

[PATCH v7]
On patch 1:
1. Fix line over 80 characters.
On patch 2:
1. Insert a separate patch for DT bindings.
This is looking good. Can you address the DT bindings review concerns,
and send a v8?
If it was not clear, the DT concerns are this shouldn't be using DT.
There are already industry standard ways to locate a specific region
on block devices. Use those. Then this will work on my PC.
