This is a first try to move readdir() to become an inode operation. This is
necessary for a VFS implementation of "something like union-mounts" where a
readdir() needs to read the directory contents of multiple directories.
Besides that the new interface is no longer giving the struct file to the
filesystem implementations anymore.

Comments, please?
