Support recorder for console. To enable console recorder, just make
console_size be greater than 0 and a multiple of 4096.

Hi Kees Cook,

A bad subject on patch 5 and patch 6 that "blkoops" should be "pstore/zone".

I will fix it in the next version.

I think it's better to use delayed work.

	static DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(psz_cleaner, psz_flush_all_dirty_zones);

Change to:
	
	schedule_delayed_work(&psz_cleaner, msecs_to_jiffies(500));

delay for 500ms to merge more log of console and reduce calling times.

If flush dirty failed, I think it should try again later.

	int ret = 0;
	
	ret |= psz_flush_dirty_zone(cxt->ppsz);
	ret |= psz_flush_dirty_zone(cxt->cpsz);
	ret |= psz_flush_dirty_zones(cxt->opszs, cxt->oops_max_cnt);
	if (ret)
		schedule_delayed_work(&psz_cleaner, msecs_to_jiffies(1000));

I will fix it in the next version.
