Is there some kind of future plan for a common 'fork' access methidology?
can I do something like inode->u.udf_i->streamdir = iget(stream dir ino num)
then, using ioctl calls on the file, access the files in streamdir?
(Keep using the kernel functionallity to access the files, but not have
them part of the directory hierarchy)
