Most likely from stat, lstat and fstat.

That is implied by the way they get the dev_t.

AFAICT, filesystems are always on block-devices in Linux.

Linux has the distinction between block and character devices. I don't
see any evidence that block devices can be accessed as character devices
as well (ie: there's /dev/fd0, but no /dev/rfd0).

In the sense that we would never find the vnode and thus always return
zero stats, right?

Right-o :-)

Yes. A more dynamic solution needs to be used that creates mappings (and
dev_t values) on the fly.
