get_unused_fd & get_empty_filp

Would it be very bad if get_unused_fd() and get_empty_filp() were
exported, so that modules are able to allocate entries in the file
table?

This is absolutely necessary for "half way" open system calls, that
does the file name lookup in one part, and the actual opening in the
second part.
