Subject: [PATCH pstore-next v2 0/4] Refactor compression initialization

Sai noticed pstore wasn't catching early crashes, so Joel fixed it
by moving init earlier again (with compression init done later). I
refactored things a bit to avoid modular build problems noticed by
Guenter. And while doing this work, I also improved /proc/iomem labels
after Dan helped me get NVDIMM working so I could meaningfully test the
very early crash handling.

Thanks everyone!

- add init refactoring to avoid modular build failures.
