[Bug documentation/5049] New: Document relative vs. absolute pathnames in probe PATTERNs

[jkenisto at us dot ibm dot com]

A user was having trouble getting stap to accept a statement"func@file:line")
probe.  The fix was to change the "file" component from an absolute pathname to
a pathname relative to the root of the kernel source tree.

Neither the stapprobes man page nor the Language Reference make it clear that
the pathname must be relative, although the examples in the Language Reference
show relative pathnames.

Am I correct in thinking that the pathname must be relative?  Does this need to
be clarified anywhere besides in the stapprobes man page and the Language Reference?
