The PKRAM super block is the starting point for restoring preserved
memory. By providing the super block to the new kernel at boot time,
preserved memory can be reserved and made available to be restored.
To point the kernel to the location of the super block, one passes
its pfn via the 'pkram' boot param. For that purpose, the pkram super
block pfn is exported via /sys/kernel/pkram. If none is passed, any
preserved memory will not be kept, and a new super block will be
allocated.
