Subject: core: Add kernel message dumper to call on oopses and panics

The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html

(with the kmsg_dump implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has
been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on
crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.
