    Details, please? I'm currently dealing with that area, so if you give some
    details I could check this one.

    To fix:
    race in devfs_open() (bogus use of ->d_count; waiting for comments from
    Richard),
    race in hpfs_unlink() (ditto; fix exists, will be merged soon)
    races in nfs_rename() and nfs_unlink() (ditto; ditto)
