Subject: [PATCH 06/10] debugfs: implement symbolic links
From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@...ibm.com>
debugfs: implement symbolic links
Implement a new function debugfs_create_symlink() which can be used
to create symbolic links in debugfs. This function can be useful
for people moving functionality from /proc to debugfs (e.g. the
gcov-kernel patch).
