RO buffers overwrite, RW buffers loose events.
We could allow both for persistent under the constraints:
VM_SHARED - must imply !VM_WRITE since multiple people writing to the
control page will get 'interesting' very fast.
!VM_SHARED - must fail mmap() of the debugfs file if there's already
an existing user.
Note that even RW buffers only allows writes to the control page, a
write to the actual data itself will generate a fault.
