Thanks, LGTM.
I get the feeling that this is something where we could do something clever
("put hashed/directory aliases at the beginning of the list, push unhashed
ones at the end"), and avoid the whole loop in d_find_alias() (and then
"d_find_any_alias()" would also automatically prefer a hashed one without
even calling d_find_alias first). But I doubt it matters. And the alias
list is a hlist, so maybe it would be too painful to try to be clever
anyway.
