It definitely seems to be orphaned. Somebody had touched qnx/inode.c in
2.3.19, maybe they will show up and tell what is going on? It got into the
tree in 2.1.120 and since then was, erm, maintained when the global
changes/cleanups happened (aside of the last patchlet - it looks like
somebody began playing with the thing again). It doesn't look too scary -
UNIX fs as UNIX fs, but somebody ought to get the documentation on layout.
I can look after it, but it will require documentation + couple of fs
images for testing.
