selftests/powerpc: Suggest memtrace instead of /dev/mem for ci memory
The suggested alternative for getting cache-inhibited memory with 'mem=' and /dev/mem is pretty hacky. Also, PAPR guests do not allow system memory to be mapped cache-inhibited so despite /dev/mem being available this will not work which can cause confusion. Instead recommend using the memtrace buffers. memtrace is only available on powernv so there will not be any chance of trying to do this in a guest.
