[Skiboot] [PATCH 05/22] external/trace: Fall back to read()

From: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall at gmail.com>

Not all kernels support mmap() on an OPAL exported memory range. Fall
back to allocating a buffer and using the normal file IO system calls
to read the contents of the trace buffer in those cases.

This does mean we can't use "follow" mode since we can't monitor the
raw trace data effectively, but otherwise it works fine.
