//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The DEVFS File System contains inodes and dentries associated to all chdev descriptors 
// availables in the architecture. It is structured as a three levels tree structure :
// - The "dev" directory inode is stored in cluster_IO. It is the root of the DEVFS
//   file system. The parent inode is the "/" VFS root.
// - There is one "internal_cxy" directory inode per cluster, that is the parent of
//   the local children inodes associated to the local, internal chdev descriptors. 
//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
// - The I/O cluster contains one "external" directory inode, that is the parent of 
//   the remote children inodes associated to the remote external chdev descriptors.
//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
//
// The DEVFS file system uses the DEVFS context extension to register an extended pointer
// on the DEVFS "dev" inode, and and another extended pointer on the "external" inode.
//
// The DEVFS file system uses the VFS inode extension to store the pointer 
// on the associated chdev descriptor.
