They are all ioctl interfaces, and was introduced in previous patch in
Documentation/ABI/testing/pfru. The way userspace interace with it is
introduced in next patch in the man page. I'll revise the commit log to
better describe how user could use it.

It is from the telemetry log generated by the BIOS. Since this content is
platform specific, I'll remove the log in next version.

In the beginning mmap() interface was provided to the user. Then it was
realized that there is no guarantee in the spec that, the physical address
provided by the BIOS would remain unchanged. So instead of asking the user
to mmap the file each time before reading the log, the read() is leveraged
here to always memremap() the latest address.
