I simply dislike the fact that ->d_real() is getting more complex.
I'd prefer d_real to die, which is unfortunately not so easy, as
you've explained.

But if we can make it somewhat less complex (remove the inode
parameter) instead of more complex (add a vfsmount * parameter) then
that's already a big win in my eyes.

Thanks,
