Doh - I went to look at what it would take to fix this - and found that
I'd already implemented it:


                if (reason == KMSG_DUMP_OOPS && pstore_is_mounted())
                        pstore_mkfile(PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG, psinfo->name, id,
                                      psinfo->buf, hsize + l1_cpy + l2_cpy,
                                      CURRENT_TIME, psinfo);
