Except there is no way to find full path to directory
if you have only it's vnode.

There is another problem with the descriptor files in fd/ - they
don't appear as 'procfs' nodes, so e.g. 'find /proc ! -type procfs'
fails to skip them - that's another problem pointed out in kern/21187
feedback. I'm looking at that problem right now.

What was reason to introduce fd/ again?
