OK - simplified per Jeff's suggestions, and also simplified the error
check so it falls through to old unix query path on everything but rc
== 0 or rc == -ENOENT (which avoids having to worry about future
EISDIR vs. EACCES anyway). Will begin testing, but with a change this
small, looks lower risk to not map the errors (per Jeff's suggestion).
Most of the change size is reformatting the comments and the one
level of now superfluous indentation.
