[Skiboot] [PATCH] external/mambo: support mambo COW mode for PMEM disk

[Aaron Sawdey]

I've added support in mambo's "memory mmap" command to have a "cow" mode
which just uses MAP_PRIVATE instead of MAP_SHARED on the file so that writes
to the memory region are not sent back to the file. This allows multiple
mambo instances to share the same filesystem image.

This is implemented by having a PMEM_MODES environment variable. If this
is set, it is expected to contain a comma separated list of modes (rw or cow)
for the list of files in PMEM_DISK. If there are fewer modes than files, the
remaining files default to "rw".

Thanks,
    Aaron
