OK, that part is pretty obvious - pointers to a couple of objects in the same
stack frame replaced with a single pointer to structure consisting of those
two objects.  Might actually be an optimization.

Ditto.

Minor yuck: that should be "", 1 (in the original as well).  Same below...
Fairly subtle point: we do *not* need to check for failures here, since
prepend_path() will attempt to produce at least something.  And we'll
catch that failure just fine.  However, we do depend upon buflen being
non-negative here.  If we ever called that (or any other in that family,
really) with buflen == MIN_INT, we'd get seriously unpleasant results.
No such callers exist, thankfully.

Umm...  Interesting, especially considering the way dyname_dname() looks like.
char *dynamic_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen,
                        const char *fmt, ...)
{
        va_list args;
        char temp[64];
        int sz;

        va_start(args, fmt);
        sz = vsnprintf(temp, sizeof(temp), fmt, args) + 1;
        va_end(args);

        if (sz > sizeof(temp) || sz > buflen)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG);

        buffer += buflen - sz;
        return memcpy(buffer, temp, sz);
}

Looks like there's a piece of prepend() open-coded in it.  And
since all ->d_dname() instances are either simple_dname() or end up
with call of dynamic_dname()...

Might make sense to turn that method into
	int (*d_dname)(struct dentry *, struct prepend_buffer *);

Followup patch, obviously, but it might be worth looking into.

Another thing that keeps bugging me about prepend_path() is the
set of return values.  I mean, 0/1/2/3/-ENAMETOOLONG, and all
except 0 are unlikely?  Might as well make that 0/1/2/3/-1, if
not an outright 0/1/2/3/4.  And prepend() could return bool, while
we are at it (true - success, false - overflow)...
