Thanks for your code. I am going to redesign pstore/blk referred to
your idea.

I want to split pstore/blk into two parts, pstore/dev and pstore/blk.
pstore/dev is a common layer that handles all configurations
for users. All devices including block devices, ram devices and
mtd devices register to pstore/dev with operations and some flags.

Besides that, we can delete the codes for the block device to
register a panic_wirte() interface since there is no block device
needed. But it should be easy to implement registering if necessary.
