ok, that was the strong voice I wanted to hear :) the patch is here:

www.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/linux_at.patch

changes:

I consistently use the mode of having

kern_foo() {
	return kern_fooat(..., AT_FDCWD);
}

and kern_fooat() being the complete syscall calling the kern_get_at(). There is no
kern_common_foo() anymore.


the only comment from Eric now is the flags parameter but I don't think we should implement
it right now as we don't have any use for it so the patch is ok as it is. we will add the
flags parameter once we implement some functionality using it.

comments?
