Maybe it would help if you elaborated on the actual problem area here so
that you can get more people involved. I can imagine that the *BSD VFS
and HelenOS VFS are two completely different animals so that what is
easy to achieve in one may not be that easy in the other.

In general, I don't think that your (or anyone's) goal should be to
write extremely complicated optimal code, especially if there will later
be no one who understands it fully. I'd clearly prefer readable and
maintainable code over too complicated.

My advice would therefore be to choose a more straightforward way of
doing things. You can always improve the code later on.
