 There is also another similar problem due to the introduction of
 genfs_node_destroy().  If the vnode op vector is changed to fifo or spec,
 genfs_node_destroy() never gets called since the reclaim method is a
 null operation.
 
 Maybe genfs should be initialized only for REG vnodes?  Or does anyone
 have any actually nice solution suggestions?
