Declare a ramoops memory segment to aid debugging for those without UART
access. Verified to carry console log when holding volume down for 15
seconds.

I was unable to find any ramoops-like memory region used in the 8916
downstream kernels, so the picked region is the last MB in System RAM.

No memory region for ramoops-like support was found downstrea, so the
arbitrarily picked region is the last MB of System RAM.

Enable CONFIG_PSTORE, CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE and CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM.

Same comment twice? Otherwise it looks ok to me as long as you're
willing to lose an MB of ram. Does the kernel skip reserving the
ramoops memory if ramoops isn't enabled? That would be nice to do
so we don't lose memory if we're not enabling the driver.
