Subject: Add an EFI pstore backend
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:30:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1311021033-7483-1-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com> (raw)

EFI provides enough non-volatile storage to make it convenient for storing
crash dumps. Extend the pstore API a little to make it easier to handle
this, then add support to efivars. Some cleanup patches from Mike Waychison
then follow.
