New libfs.c helper - simple_fill_super(). Abstracted from nfsd/nfsctl.c, couple of filesystems converted to it (nfsctl, binfmt_misc). Function takes an array of triples (name, file_operations, mode), superblock and value for its ->s_magic. It acts as fill_super() - populates superblock or fails. We get a ramfs-style flat tree - root directory and a bunch of files in it. That animal allows to put together a simple filesystem without touching any directory-related stuff - now it's as easy as implementing file_operations for files you want to have and telling what to call them.
