Alternative method of mmap() data output handling that provides better overflow management and a more reliable data stream. Unlike the previous method, that didn't have any user->kernel feedback and relied on userspace keeping up, this method relies on userspace writing its last read position into the control page. It will ensure new output doesn't overwrite not-yet read events, new events for which there is no space left are lost and the overflow counter is incremented, providing exact event loss numbers.
