Christoph,

Thanks for the review!  

Ok, so I'll switch:
- all helpers to take an additional argument
  (capable_wrt_inode_uidgid()/inode_permission()/vfs_*() etc.)
- all inode method calls to take an additional argument (I assume that's
  what you're referring to: ->create()/->mknod()/->mkdir() etc.)
  I've always assumed that this is what we'd be doing in the end anyway
  (I've mentioned it in the commit message for the inode_operations
  method's. This will be a bit of work but we can get that done!)
