There is actually an interesting twist to this one:

The VFS system as we have it currently cannot deal with the fact
that a filename may have certain restrictions in a particular
filesystem type.

The most obvious example is that a FAT filesystem barfs at ':' in
the filename (A very good practical joke: put a file called "READ:ME"
on a FAT floppy, and give it to a WIN user)

We need a EBARF return from namei which means "A pathname component
made a filesystem sick"
