Ok, I revised the patch. This is just the first step with changes to 
libfs and ramfs.

To move the directory i_size handling completely to libfs it is 
necessary to allocate the inodes in libfs. Therefore, simple_get_inode() 
and simple_mknod_init() (honestly, I don't like that name) are 
introduced. simple_mknod_init() uses a callback mechanism to initialize 
the file system specific stuff of the inodes.

What do you think of it?
