I don't think anyone is working on it at the moment. Want to take a
shot at it? It needs a from-scratch rewrite but the rewrite would be
considerably less complex then the original implementation because it
would only have to implement the new N*() VOP's instead of the old one's
and would be able to return the original vnode rather then maintain a
fake vnode. There are some minor cache coherency issues with having
multiple namecache records associated with the same vnode (representing
different directory paths reaching or going through a particular vnode),
but I can deal with that when we get to that point.
