Sounds good to me.  Some comments:

- I think it should be vfs_vnode.c?

- If there are mutexes, global data structures etc. consider making them
  static.  File systems shouldn't be playing with this stuff in so far as
  possible.

- Much code in vfs_syscalls.c belongs in a vfs_mount.c.

- Random thought: some day it would be nice to dump all the syscall code
  into its own directory.
