Bug Description

[Feature Description]

PSTORE codes has big change in mainline kernel v5.8.7 release version, which also supported saving system crash info to block device.

Fixes and new features for pstore.

      This is a pretty big set of changes (relative to past pstore pulls),
      but it has been in -next for a while. The biggest change here is the
      ability to support a block device as a pstore backend, which has been
      desired for a while. A lot of additional fixes and refactorings are
      also included, mostly in support of the new features.
