Hi, Christoph, Jens,

BTW, just out of curiosity,  the VFS infrastructure code is just scatterd
around the fs directory, which is quite suprised to a new comer that why
there is "no" vfs stuff in fs directory.  Does it make sense to also collect
them into a dedicated sub-dir, maybe vfs.  IMHO, this could make code
skeleton more clear and could avoid such mis-sending patches in a long
term maintainability view.

Thanks,
Jianyu Zhan
