- cleanup the mess with several *readattr*() functions if possible
- avoid allocation temporary buffer to hold result of read()/data
to be written in ntfs_read() & ntfs_write(): it's very easy
to panic the kernel that way, with simple
read(open(...), NULL, some_very_big_number);
The data should be transfered directly to the user buffer
to be written in ntfs_read() & ntfs_write() - besides being
unefficient, the user is able to panic the kernel with simple
open()/lseek()/read() sequence.

for the list of ntnodes, so that it's not all scanned each time; it would
be fine to migrate the found ntnode towards the start of the list too;
the list search code is duplicated on two places, eliminate the duplicity
somehow

file-vnode/file-offset so that NTFS would take advantage of UBC;
it should also improve performance somewhat, because if it's necessary
to find some offset in a file, it's possible to check if the data
