config.logging.persistent enables /dev/pmsg0

- whatever's written to /dev/pmsg0 appears as
/sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-0 after reboot

- only works on devices with the relevant device tree
support (gl-ar750 and whatever has it by default)

- nothing in the system is actually writing this file yet

- or reading it at boot time, for that matter
