The old ram_console driver is removed. This might probably cause

we can probably postpone the last two patches.
What out-of-tree code would care about this?
I think he's referring to the persistent_ftrace work in the Android tree.

Anton did send out patches to try to get equivalent functionality
working with pstore, but I don't know if Colin or anyone else from
the Android team has had a chance to review it and make sure its
sufficient.
I thought Colin did review these, as I see his acked-by on a number of
these patches...
Right, Colin reviewed the ram_console/pstore work, but I didn't see any comment on Anton's "Function tracing support for pstore".

So hopefully the ack from Colin for removing the code is sufficient then.

thanks
