 That's not that big a deal; you can just use the expansion of
 namei_simple* from vfs_lookup.c and get rid of the pathbuf logic. The
 main point of those functions is to isolate struct nameidata and
 NDINIT from random callers that don't need to fiddle with them
 directly.
 
 admittedly it's not 100% trivial, but I think maybe it's worthwhile,
 so I'll leave the PR open for now until I or someone gets around to it.
