pstore/ram: Clarify resource reservation labels
When ramoops reserved a memory region in the kernel, it had an unhelpful
label of "persistent ram". When reading iomem, it would be repeated many
times, did not hint that it was ramoops in particular, and didn't
clarify very much about what each was used for:
0x4fdd4000 - 0x4fdf3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram
0x4fdf4000 - 0x4fe13fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram
...
0x4ff74000 - 0x4ff93fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram
0x4ff94000 - 0x4ffb3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram
0x4ffb4000 - 0x4ffd3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram
Instead, this adds meaningful labels for how the various regions are
being used:
0x4fdd4000 - 0x4fdf3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:dump(0/12)
0x4fdf4000 - 0x4fe13fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:dump(1/12)
...
0x4ff74000 - 0x4ff93fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:console
0x4ff94000 - 0x4ffb3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:ftrace
0x4ffb4000 - 0x4ffd3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:pmsg
