 *  eventfs is used to dynamically create inodes and dentries based on the
 *  meta data provided by the tracing system.
 *
 *  eventfs stores the meta-data of files/dirs and holds off on creating
 *  inodes/dentries of the files. When accessed, the eventfs will create the
 *  inodes/dentries in a just-in-time (JIT) manner. The eventfs will clean up
 *  and delete the inodes/dentries when they are no longer referenced.
