jbd : config_jbd_debug cannot create /proc entry

[richard kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>]

I enabled config_jbd_debug in the hope that it may help track down the
lockup I'm seeing, but unfortunately the /proc entry does not get
created.

any ideas how to fix this ?

My machine is an Athlon 64X2 - fedora 7 x86_64 - 2.6.23-rc7

CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m
CONFIG_JBD=m
CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG=y

I added the following patch that shows create_proc_entry is failing
