ile sizes

I think this would require a pn_fill() (when !NULL) for every pfs_getattr()=
 and
defeat the purpose of stat() being faster than actually reading the file?  =
Also
it would diverge from what Linux does (their /proc would have 0-sized files=
 and
the behavior is documented, although I don't have an example of applications
expecting this behavior..)
