method of caching names has a totally bogus interface. kill *ALL*
caching of names when going through a lofs, because that's the only
way to make sure things always work right. Also, XXX the possibly-bogus
check i keep whining about. it's almost certainly wrong, but it's
too weird to modify significantly; even jsp didn't want to touch it...
Make NFS serving work (BUT DON'T USE "attach" TO /proc/*/ctl FOR NOW!!!)
Make `curproc' a symbolic link
Add `.' and `..' entries to the directories.
Return better guesses on the size of the files.
1: the fi_readers and fi_writers fields of the fifoinfo structure were not
being initialized to 0. This caused the driver to not sleep the first
process to open the fifo--it thought there was already another process to
talk to (most of the time.)
2: fifo_open() was calling tsleep() without unlocking the inode of the fifo
file. This caused *any* subsequent access to the file (even an ls (!)) to
hang forever. Note that this bug was usually masked by bug #1 above.
