That looks nice for building on top on a sane h/w design (a
block of non-volatile RAM).  My pstore code works with
uglier things. The ACPI/ERST interface provides ways to
read/write/clear "records" from what might be some NVRAM,
but might also be a channel to a service processor ... and
ERST is what I'd like to see made usable (without subjecting
users to the implementation details).
