Subject: [PATCH] ramoops: Add a device file for ramoops buffer access.

Add a /dev/ramoops device file that gives direct access to ramoops buffers.
This interface is cleaner than using /dev/mem to access the buffers because
we no longer need to lseek() or (for ARM) mmap() to an address specified in
the sysfs mem_address file.
