staging: android: ram_console: split out persistent ram
Split ram_console into two halves. persistent_ram is a set of apis that handle a block of memory that does not get erased across a reboot. It provides functions to fill it as a single buffer or a ring buffer, and to extract the old data after a reboot. It handles ecc on the data to correct bit errors introduced during reboot. ram_console is now a small wrapper around persistent_ram that feeds console data into the ringbuffer, and exports the old data to /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot.
