/* #Specification: strategy / in memory inode
 * Here is the information specific to the inode of the UMSDOS file
 * system. This information is added to the end of the standard struct
 * inode. Each file system has its own extension to struct inode,
 * so do the umsdos file system.
 * 
 * The strategy is to have the umsdos_inode_info as a superset of
 * the msdos_inode_info, since most of the time the job is done
 * by the msdos fs code.
 * 
 * So we duplicate the msdos_inode_info, and add our own info at the
 * end.
 * 
 * For all file type (and directory) the inode has a reference to:
 * the directory which hold this entry: i_dir_owner
 * The EMD file of i_dir_owner: i_emd_owner
 * The offset in this EMD file of the entry: pos
 * 
 * For directory, we also have a reference to the inode of its
 * own EMD file. Also, we have dir_locking_info to help synchronise
 * file creation and file lookup. This data is sharing space with
 * the pipe_inode_info not used by directory. See also msdos_fs_i.h
 * for more information about pipe_inode_info and msdos_inode_info.
 * 
 * Special file and fifo do have an inode which correspond to an
 * empty MSDOS file.
 * 
 * symlink are processed mostly like regular file. The content is the
 * link.
 * 
 * fifos add there own extension to the inode. I have reserved some
 * space for fifos side by side with msdos_inode_info. This is just
 * to for the show, because msdos_inode_info already include the
 * pipe_inode_info.
 * 
 * The UMSDOS specific extension is placed after the union.
