Actually, it wasn't to hard to come up with something that is pretty
close:
$ stap -e 'probe vfs.read
  { if (file != 0 && devname != "N/A")
    { mountpoint = @cast(file, "file")->f_path->mnt->mnt_mountpoint;
      parent = @cast(file, "file")->f_path->dentry->d_parent;
      name = @cast(file, "file")->f_path->dentry;
      log(execname() . " " . reverse_path_walk(mountpoint)
          . reverse_path_walk(parent) . d_name(name)); } }'

You need to tweak this a little to get the slashes right at the start,
but it seems to mostly do what you want.

Cheers,

Mark
