Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3 V3] livedump: Add the new misc device "livedump"
Introduces the new misc device "livedump".
This device will be used as interface between livedump and user space.
Right now, the device only has empty ioctl operation.
***ATTENTION PLEASE***
I think debugfs is more suitable for this feature, but currently livedump
uses the misc device for simplicity. This will be fixed in the future.
