Careful here: the UNIX filesystem separates vnodes from directory
entries. One can easily map a name in the filesystem to a v-node (via
namei() et al.) but was never designed to work the other way around.
Unlike most other operating systems (Windows NT, VMS, etc.) there is no
one-to-one correspondence between a file on disk and its associated names
in the filesystem.
