This patch exploits pstore subsystem to read details of common partition
in NVRAM to a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, common partition
details will be stored in a file named [common-nvram-6].

Call this powerpc-ofw-... Does it even contain something we use in Linux
at all ? Last I looked we only used the common one right ? Also it's
format afaik is defined in the CHRP bindings so it's not generic OFW
stuff, hence the powerpc prefix.

Same deal, call that powerpc-common

Do we expose anything else or keep it hidden ?

Cheers,

Sure. Will change it to powerpc prefix.

We are exposing oops, rtas, of-config and common partition of nvram.
