We could do that. I threw in pstore_write without any particular use case in mind.
Since there hasn't been a rush of people adding calls to it (and since it seems
that pstore back ends have very limited amounts of space at their disposal, any
use of pstore_write would probably cause problems for the dmesg dump model)
removing it sounds like a good idea.

If someone does want to use it - they will have to figure out how to solve
priority issues.
