From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com>

Add virtio pstore device to allow kernel log files saved on the host.
It will save the log files on the directory given by pstore device
option.

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-pstore,directory=dir-xx ...

  (guest) # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

  $ ls dir-xx
  dmesg-1.enc.z  dmesg-2.enc.z

The log files are usually compressed using zlib.  Users can see the log
messages directly on the host or on the guest (using pstore filesystem).

The 'directory' property is required for virtio-pstore device to work.
It also adds 'bufsize' property to set size of pstore bufer.

The new virtio_error() function might be available, depending on when
this patch series is merged.  virtio_error() should be used instead of
exit(1).  See "[PATCH v5 0/9] virtio: avoid exit() when device enters
invalid states" on qemu-devel.

The VIRTIO specification requires that flexible framing is supported.
The device cannot make assumptions about the scatter-gather list.  It
must support any layout (e.g. even multiple 1-byte iovecs making up the
buffer).

This is an error, not a warning.  Please remove "Warning:" so it's clear
to the user that this message caused QEMU to fail.

Thanks for the info, will take a look.
