Hi all,

I've created a couple GDB convenience functions that I found useful when
debugging some VFS issues and figure others might find them useful. For
instance, they are useful in setting conditional breakpoints on VFS
functions where you only care if the dentry path is a certain value. I
took the opportunity to create a new "vfs" python module to give VFS
related utilities a home.

Andrew, any chance you could pick up those two patches from Glenn:
