"It's the end of the world as we know it".  How appropriate on this day.

This has file position semantics, so it's possible to call debug_start
with a non-zero offset, and in fact possible to jump all the way ahead
past the end of the file.  In this case, this function must return NULL.

I base this on a number of examples out there (there's a recent one on
lwn.net) and on trying to understand the seq file logic.

Yeah, that would be the definition of a critical section wouldn't it?

I don't mind moving it around though, if it makes some

Thanks for having a look.  I don't think we need to overdo this one,
it's a debug feature, it seems pretty stable, and you need root access
to look at it, but of course it shouldn't be entirely shitty either.
