IDGI...
	1) d_path(), by definition, is dependent upon the
process' root - the same <mount,dentry> pair will yield
different strings if caller is chrooted.  You *can't* just
use a random process' root
	2) we are *NOT* making rename_lock and mount_lock
disable interrupts.  Not happening.

So it has to be process-synchronous anyway.  Could you describe
where that thing is going to be callable?
