Hmm... There's another fun issue - we would want local_irq_disable() /
local_irq_enable() in d_move_locked and local_irq_save/local_irq_restore()
in dname_string(), AFAICT.
OK, here's what I've got from moving in that direction. Folks, how does
that one look to you? I'm not too happy about explicit manipulations
with irq flags in there, so any suggestions would be welcome.
AFAICS, that should be enough to make the damn thing safe to use in any
context outside of d_move_locked() itself...
