The NetBSD VFS interface does not let underlying filesystem distinguish
different struct file for a given vnode. That information is just not
sent, and this is what this thread is about.

The FUSE interface has the notion of filehandles, which are opaque
references to struct file. But currently NetBSD cannot use that.
