Really? Usually it's just gonna be <something>/linux-2.6...
IMHO it leaks information (the <something>) you don't want to be in final
build, like login names and file server names.
We already have way to many uses of __FILE__ in the kernel source tree.
Unfortunately there's no replacement macro with just the relative path,
against the topdir of the source tree.
