Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] char drivers: ramoops record_size module parameter

The size of the dump is currently set using the RECORD_SIZE macro which
is set to a page size. This patch makes the record size a module 
parameter and allows it to be set through platform data as well to allow
larger dumps if needed.
