go check the kernel on AIX V3.1, you will find that it does not
include namei() as a kernel service.  clearly this proves that
you can't rely on non-standard or undocumented features.  don't
believe me - go check the source code.  no namei().

now will you give up?  you can't seem to accept that on some
system assert() and abort() return to their invoker, and now
you go claiming namei() is a common kernel service.  please,
quit while you are just slightly behind.
