I don't see why this would be any harder for filesystem code than for
other types of drivers. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Anyway, I can try to clean it up: remove all the racy bits and keep
what I need (which is mainly just the /sys/fs directory). Where can I
find the most recent version of this?
