I'm not sure. Turning, for example, the statat(dir_fd, name == NULL)
error case into fstat(dir_fd) sounds like a way for apps, admittedly
buggy ones, to be surprised. Maybe libc would be exptected to catch
the error before performing the shared system call?
At that point would it not be cheaper to have two system calls, the table
cost isn't very large.
It's not just the table, though, you need two entry points, but even
that isn't really all that big either, I guess.
