SubjectRe: [PATCH] mq_open() honor leading slash

Why should we do that in kernel space?
The kernel interface is "no slash at all". User space can add a SuS
compatible layer on top of the kernel interface (i.e. fail with -EINVAL
if the first character is not a /, then skip the slash and pass "name+1"
to sys_mq_open()).
