pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the
system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose
which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
obviously be tuned with a mount option.

Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
