Calling the struct dentry entry had me onfused a bit.  I believe
everyone else (including the code you removed) uses dentry.

Ah yes, it seems I took it from d_instantiate(), I guess a cleanup
patch would be nice.

These two could even be combined.

And of course I realize that I comment on absolute trivialities.  On the
whole, I couldn't spot a real problem in your patches.

Well, at least you reviewed it, it's the important point !
