Start at the end of the kmsg buffer and fill the provided buffer with as many of the the *youngest* kmsg records that fit into it. If the buffer is large enough, all available kmsg records will be copied with a single call.
Consecutive calls will fill the buffer with the next block of available older records, not including the earlier retrieved ones.
A return value of FALSE indicates that there are no more records to read.
