Is there any documentation as to whether these should be locked by
namei() or not?

Ie, I can fairly easily find that VOP_MKNOD() is always called with a
locked componentname, but if I introduce this as a requirement (due to
new vput() paramteres), is there anywhere I can document it?  Or even
avoid checking everywhere...

Eivind.
