[Piglit] [Patch v5 1/4] framework/dmesg: Adds a new module for dmesg

This modules implements two classes and a helper function. The two
classes are both dmesg wrapper classes, one, PosixDmesg is used on posix
systems when requested to actually do checks on dmesg. The second class,
DummyDmesg, is used to reduce code complexity by providing dummy
versions of the methods in PosixDmesg. This means that we don't need
separate code paths for Posix systems wanting to check dmesg, Posix
systems not wanting to check dmesg, and non-posix systems which lack
dmesg.

Beyond reducing complexity this module also gives better isolation,
dmesg is only used in Test.execute(), no where else. Additional classes
don't need to worry about dmesg that way, it's just available.

v2: - Remove unnecessary assert from PosixDmesg.update_result()
    - simplify replace helper in PoixDmesg.update_result()
    - replace try/except with if check
    - Change PosixDmesg.update_dmesg() to work even if dmesg 'wraps'
v3: - Try/Except assignment of PosixDmesg._last_message in update_dmesg()
    - Set the dmesg levels the same as the previous implementation
    - Change PosixDmesg into LinuxDmesg and enforce that dmesg has
      timestamps
v4: - Add check in LinuxDmesg.__init__ to ensure there is something in
      dmesg before doing the timestamp check. This should make problems
      clearer
    - Refactor some code in LinuxDmesg.update_result()
v5: - Replace exception with warning.
    - add break to loop in dmesg.update_dmesg

+""" Module implementing classes for reading posix dmesg
+
+Currently this module only has the default DummyDmesg, and a LinuxDmesg.
+The method used on Linux requires that timetamps are enabled, and no other
+posix system has timestamps.
+
+On OSX and *BSD one would likely want to implement a system that reads the
+sysloger, since timestamps can be added by the sysloger, and are not inserted
+by dmesg.
