The sysfs nodes created under /opal/exports/ do not currently support
mmap. Skiboot trace buffers are not yet added to this location but
this is a suitable for them to be exported to. Adding mmap support makes
using these trace buffers more convenient. The state in the header of
the trace buffer is needed to ensure the read position has not been
overwritten. Thus the header of the buffer must be read, then the
read position itself. Using lseek/read to do this introduces a delay
that could result in incorrect reads if the read position is overwritten
after the header is read.
