Quite.  Matter of fact, there's another problem (path_mount()
that needs to be moved from fs/internal.h for that) and IMO this
is simply not worth bothering with.  I don't see any benefits
in the last commit in there; the next-to-last one has some
point, and it's not hard to fix, but since it clearly got
no testing whatsoever...  Christoph, if you want it back,
resend it later, *after* having tested it.  qemu-system-alpha
works well enough to boot the last released debian/alpha. 

For now I'm dropping the last two commits from that branch.
