VOP_VPTOCNP() still must get the data somewhere. It is usually easy to
provide the name for a synthetic file system, where the data is fully
controlled by the filesystem. Also, it is always possible to provide the
name for a directory on any unix-like filesystem, due to dotdot. Both
cases are what handled by fs-specific implementations of VOP_VPTOCNP()
and by the default code.

For the rest, you e.g. must be able to answer with the name for regular
inode on UFS, given the inode number. If you can provide such code, I
will be quite amazed.
