The file type is a non-zero value in the high bits of the mode word;
it means that the inode does not refer to real data any more.

The vgone call is just part of the subsystem I think should be replaced
wholesale; I'd like to see a per FS vrele() (back to locally managed
pools) replace most of those calls.  The vgone() calls vgone1() calls
vclean, and we're back in my hate-zone.
