On ChromiumOS devices, the `ecc_size` is set to 0 (check dmesg | grep ecc
to see `ecc: 0`): this disables ECC for ramoops region, even when
`ramoops.ecc=1` is given to kernel command line parameter.
Introduce `ecc_size` module parameter to provide a method to turn on ECC
for ramoops and set different values of ecc_size per devices.
A large `ecc_size` value can cause a kernel panic due to a constraint in
Reed-Solomon code library. The validation for this constraint should
belong to the common pstore RAM layer, not in each individual driver. So
this check is handled by a separate patch [1].
