* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes * grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to entry if that succeeds * have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup; that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare() will reject the wrong ones. * have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are attached to our directory. * implement ->getattr(). * get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking * get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions induced by that.
