There are: sock_alloc rd_load_image. However that's a nit because the new,
improved get_empty_inode understands the concept of null sb. (Another thing
we could do is require every inode to have a superblock - that's probably
where it will go in time.)

We put this inside get_empty_inode:

if (inode) {
inode->i_dev = sb->s_dev;
inode->i_blkbits = sb->s_blocksize_bits;
}

then rename it new_inode. But this is outside of the scope of the fs.h work
I'm doing, don't you think? There are a lot of things I'd like to clean up
on the way through this, but it's probably best to just resist the temptation
for now.
