Like treating "all stat failures silently ignored, instead of
treating ENOENT specifically" and "a non-directory non-file
filesystem entity being silently ignored" two separate issues, so at
least two patches, and possibly if we need a preliminary clean-up
to make these two changes, yet another one? And each patch focuses
on one thing it addresses, with its own test? That makes sense.
Thanks.
