I'm working on some linux kernel driver stuff and I have a fake path called /dev/blah/whatever that points to /dev/block/real_device.
And *why* is kernel code trying to follow a symlink, anyhow? (Hint: there's probably (a) data you want at the other end of the symlink and (b) a better kernel API for getting at that data, which is why you can't find examples of following symlinks. ;)
