in fact "struct file" can (ab)used for this, no need for new structures or
new fields. Eg. file->f_flags contains the cached descriptor-information.
file->f_list is used for the current->lazy_files ringlist.

this way there is no additional allocation overhead in the worst-case.

(unless i'm missing something obvious.)
