IOW, the inode_permission() in lookup_one_len() that eventfs does is
redundant and just wrong.  
I don't think so.
Just to make it clear. eventfs has nothing to do with mkdir instance/foo.
It exists without that. Although one rationale to do eventfs was so
that the instance directories wouldn't recreate the same 10thousands
event inodes and dentries for every mkdir done.
