Modify ktrace to write to pipes.

Currently the ktrace infrastructure requires the dump output go to a file. It 
would be useful to be able to instead have it write to pipe, or in fact any 
type of file descriptor.

Requirements
 - Ability to read & write C (specifically in the kernel)
 - VFS/kernel internals (probably?)
