I wonder whether this buys us anything a Systemtap (or the upcoming bpftrace)
script wouln't be able to get us without requiring a VFS module?
Most VFS functions are just abstractions for syscalls, so tracing those is a no
brainer. Stuff like create_file will require debuginfo, but then again debuginfo
is needed anyway for (postmortem) diagnosis.
Just wondering...
