So, I'd like to know who (if anybody) really uses F_GETPATH.

I think the patch is simple enough, and if there is a real program that is
worth porting for which this actually matters, I don't really see any
downsides. But I'd like to hear more about it, and I also wonder if others
do it differently.

Also, are there any other interfaces that other OS's use for this, do you
know? Would be good to know before/if we decide to support something like
this..
