with FIDs is quite possible and even safe if application can learn it
(using xattr_get or ioctl). then it should be trivial to export FID
namespace on MDS via special .lustre-fids directory?
another idea was to do whole path traversal on MDS within a single RPC.
bug that'd require amount of changes to llite and/or VFS and keep MDS
a bottleneck.
