If data returned from pstore is compressed, nvram's write callback will add a flag ERR_TYPE_KERNEL_PANIC_GZ indicating the data is compressed while writing to nvram. If the data read from nvram is compressed, nvram's read callback will set the flag 'compressed'. The patch adds backward compatibilty with old format oops header when reading from pstore.
