This needs to be documented at

Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Any reason why we can't parse and cache the size in early param handler
it self?

Should not most part of this patch be under CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM?

It may be appropriate to use one of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_xxx flags for the end
marker.

Looks like you need MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_NOLEAKTRACE

What about other architectures?
