No, I mean that you have several different VIRTIO_PSTORE_TYPE_nnn and
use a different file for each constant. When reading this directory
though you're not looking for the file corresponding to any given
VIRTIO_PSTORE_TYPE_nnn - you're simply reading whichever file is found
first. So you might have just read a TYPE_CONSOLE or have read a
TYPE_DMESG - it surely doesn't make sense to randonly read either
TYPE_CONSOLE or TYPE_DMESG based on whatever order readdir() lists
the files.

Daniel
