Granted, its user outside of fs/namei.c is ugly as hell, but looking at this series, I'd rather have the damn thing call filename_lookup() directly. _Or_, if you really feel like doing that wrapper, make it inline in internal.h and have fs_parser.c use call the same thing - it also passes NULL as the last argument. Said that, I really don't see the point of having that wrapper in the first place.
