Automatically cap sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) at 192/128 bytes or
256/192 bytes if spinlock debugging/lockdep is enabled.

Hmm...  proc_root initialization relies upon a gccism after that...
Speaking of which, why the hell do we even bother with proc_root.name?

Yeah well.

printk("%s/%s", pde->parent->name, pde->name) is nice and doesn't cost
anything (OK, it may cost 5 bytes).
