@chapter Pathname Evaluation
XXX Include graphic of the path evaluation process with Jennifer's
explanations
@itemize @bullet
@item There are two pathname evaluation routines. The handler patheval()
is called to find, verify privlages on and return information on a node
that exists. The handler evalformake() is called to find, verify
permissions, and return information on a node that is to become a parent.
Additionally, evalformake() returns a pointer to the start of the name of
the new node to be created.
@item Pathname evaluation is specific to a filesystem
@item Mechanics of crossing a mount point during the evaluation of a path
