 specifically, fix nfs, so it works okay with SAVENAME from namei()
 VOP_FOO...

 I'll commit the kern_exec.c changes because it's okay there like you
 say.
 
 the possibilities for sys_unlink/rename_files are:
 
   - change NDINIT()/namei() to work with a pathname_t interface similar
     to what you suggested. if we do that, we probably don't want to
     pull it up to netbsd-4, and we'll have to pull up a PNBUF_GET() +
     copyinstr() + PNBUF_PUT() fix.
 
   - use a pathname_t interface similar to the one I suggested. this
     can be pulled up to netbsd-4.
 
 personally, if we can't use SAVENAME (that was quite elegant imho :)
 then I don't mind what we choose to do.
