What about compat/linux_emul.[ch], or linux_misc.[ch] or a completely
new linux_fs.[ch]?

I don't know if it is a good idea to translate the names or not... I
can come up with cases where it is ok, but I can also come up with
cases where it isn't. Unluckily I don't know which cases should be
taken into account or not.

Bye,
Alexander.
