| 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. |
