Documentation/ramoops.txt: convert it to ReST format

- Fix document title;
- use quote blocks where needed;
- use monotonic fonts for config options and file names;
- adjust whitespaces and blank lines;
- add it to the user's book.

 Ramoops is an oops/panic logger that writes its logs to RAM before the system
 crashes. It works by logging oopses and panics in a circular buffer. Ramoops
 needs a system with persistent RAM so that the content of that area can
 survive after a restart.
 
-1. Ramoops concepts
+Ramoops concepts
+----------------
 
 Ramoops uses a predefined memory area to store the dump. The start and size
 and type of the memory area are set using three variables:
-  * "mem_address" for the start
-  * "mem_size" for the size. The memory size will be rounded down to a
-  power of two.
-  * "mem_type" to specifiy if the memory type (default is pgprot_writecombine).
-
-Typically the default value of mem_type=0 should be used as that sets the pstore

 depends on atomic operations. At least on ARM, pgprot_noncached causes the
 memory to be mapped strongly ordered, and atomic operations on strongly ordered
 memory are implementation defined, and won't work on many ARMs such as omaps.

 You can specify either RAM memory or peripheral devices' memory. However, when
 specifying RAM, be sure to reserve the memory by issuing memblock_reserve()
