28//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
29// The DEVFS File System contains inodes and dentries associated to all chdev descriptors
30// availables in the architecture.
31//
32// It is structured as a three levels tree structure :
33// - The "dev" directory inode is stored in cluster_IO. It is the root of the DEVFS
34//   file system. The parent inode is the "/" VFS root.
35// - There is one "internal_cxy" directory inode per cluster, that is the parent of
36//   the local children inodes associated to the local, internal chdev descriptors.
37//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
38// - The I/O cluster contains one "external" directory inode, that is the parent of
39//   the remote children inodes associated to the remote external chdev descriptors.
40//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
41//
42// The DEVFS extensions to the generic VFS are the following:
43// 1) The vfs_ctx_t "extend" field is a void* pointing on the devfs_ctx_t structure.
44//    This structure contains two extended pointers on the DEVFS "dev" directory inode,
45//    and on the "external" directory inode.
46// 2) The vfs_inode_t "extend" field is a void*, pointing on the associated
47//    chdev descriptor.
