Eduard, Pekka, any preferences?

Are symbolic links in Documentation/ frowned upon? I think it would 
be best to have the file in both places:

We do want to direct people interested in Documentation/vm/ to 
kmemtrace ... and we do want to let people who are interested in 
Documentation/trace/ that there's kmemtrace.

Tracing and instrumentation is generally a multi-subsystem thing.
