Thanks for the review Steven.
And no problem on late reply, I was working on Will's comment about
instrumentation in arch code and was about to respin a v2 patch. I have
replied inline, let me know if any more corrections or improvements can
be done. I would also like if Kees or someone from pstore could comment
on patch 2.

I will correct it in v2. RTB will not be enabled until pstore is
registered since we use pstore for logs. I will add a comment above the
static declaration saying so.

Yes you are right, will remove those.

Sure, will change it to above and post v2.
