[PATCH] char drivers: Ram oops kernel configuration parameters

[Sergiu Iordache]

Ramoops currently has module parameters for setting the configuration
variables (ram start, ram size and dump oopses). This makes it difficult to
configure when the module is compiled as a builtin.

This patch adds the following 3 configuration options which set the same
variables as the module parameters:
 1. RAMOOPS_RAM_START
 2. RAMOOPS_RAM_SIZE
 3. RAMOOPS_RAM_DUMP_OOPS

Module parameters take precedence over configuration parameters.
