Subject: Re: [patch 01/10] vfs: add path_create() and path_mknod()

I think these definitely all clean the code up.  They might add a couple
of lines, net, but they certainly make it easier to read.  As you noted,
they also make it much harder to screw up the locking, which is even
better.  Just looking at it from an aesthetic point of view, it looks
good to have these helpers around.
