The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html

(with the dump_kmsg implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has
been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on
crashes. The dump_kmsg function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.

ChangeLog:

 * (The other patches are sent only to linux-mtd since they are really
   just mtdoops-specific now)
 * (Linus) remove the priv pointer in the structure and
   let users determine the address of their own structure
   with container_of

Please capitalize constants - lower case suggests it's some sort of 
variable which it is not.

Please rename these APIs to be more in line with how we name new kernel 
APIs. Something like:

  kmsg_dump()
  kmsg_dumper_register()
  kmsg_dumper_unregister()

(we start with the subsystem as a prefix, then we go from more generic 
to less generic words.)

Might even make sense to name them all kmsg_dump:

  kmsg_dump()
  kmsg_dump_register()
  kmsg_dump_unregister()

Thanks,

	Ingo
