Uh, this makes no sense to me. If this is a real pstore_record, you
cannot just assign psi here.

Common code style for this kind of thing is usually like this:

	if (!psinfo->region_info)
		return -EINVAL;

	return psinfo->region_info(...)

But there's a larger problem here -- "virt", "phys" and likely
"max_dump_cnt" are aspects _specific to the ram backend_. This can't be
a generic pstore interface.

I'm not opposed to it being exposed only from ramoops, though.

But I think you'll want a pstore generic way to iterate over the
records...
