Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside
/proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a
crash dump scenario.

Fix <linux/kmsg_dump.h> when CONFIG_PRINTK is not enabled:
include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:56: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:61: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
Looks like commit 595dd3d8bf95 ("kmsg_dump: fix build for
CONFIG_PRINTK=n") uses EINVAL without having the needed header file(s),
but I'm sure that I build tested that patch also. oh well.

emergency_restart paths
We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
messages are lost on current Linux kernel.
This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
emergency_restart path.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.
This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html
(with the kmsg_dump implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has
been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on
crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.
