Subject: [PATCH] Add 'update' action to kernel module
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The 'update' action attempts to update the /usr/src/linux symlink to
point to the sources of the running kernel.

Thanks to ulm for helpful suggestions when working on this
functionality.
