5 This option enables generic access to platform level
6 persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
7 be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
8 a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
9 provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
10 (or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
11 (e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
12 If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
13 say N.

24 This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular
25 buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.
