[MTD] mtdoops: Add a magic number to logged kernel oops
Add a magic number to logged kernel oops messages so that they can be more accurately detected rather than just having to rely on the sequence number. This also allows easier detection of saved crashes by userspace. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
