Sorry, initially I left if for later consideration after rc1, and then
I just forgot about it.

I didn't see much point to the cleanup when it actually adds lots of
lines and no actual advantage. The whole dentry type translation
really is fs-specific and it might just happen to be shared. But why
share it if it only adds complexity and unnecessary abstraction?
