tracing: Implement creating an instance based on a given memory region

Allow for creating a new instance by passing in an address and size to map
the ring buffer for the instance to.

This will allow features like a pstore memory mapped region to be used for
an tracing instance ring buffer that can be retrieved from one boot to the
next.
