emlog: new package

[Thomas:
 - update to the latest github version, which has a number of
   fixes/improvements compared to the latest tag.
 - add a patch to fix the build of the kernel module with recent
   kernel versions (>= 3.19).
 - use $(INSTALL) -D with a full destination path.
 - rewrap Config.in help text, lines were too long.]

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix access to the dentry
+
+Since Linux 2.6.20, the dentry pointer is no longer stored in
+file->f_dentry, but in file->f_path.dentry. Until Linux 3.19, there
+was a compatibility macro which made the change transparent, but this
+macro has now been removed.
+
+Since we probably don't care about compatibility with kernels older
+than 2.6.20, this commit takes the simple approach of using
+file->f_path.dentry. This will work with any kernel >= 2.6.20.
+
+Submitted upstream at https://github.com/nicupavel/emlog/pull/3.

+	depends on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL
+	help
+	  emlog is a Linux kernel module that makes it easy to access
+	  the most recent (and only the most recent) output from a
+	  process. It works just like "tail -f" on a log file, except
+	  that the storage required never grows. This can be useful in
+	  embedded systems where there isn't enough memory or disk
+	  space for keeping complete log files, but the most recent
+	  debugging messages are sometimes needed (e.g., after an
+	  error is observed).
