I really dislike the changes to vfs_init().  Specifically, it's
not the overhead, so much as it's the implied side effects.

Consider this going forward: someone adds a new VFSOP to the
list of allowable VFSOPs, and the vfs_init() doesn't have any
specific code for it.

This could happen with a new VFS implementation that gets loaded
as a module.  While the current code can't really handle this
well, the changes move us further away from ever being able to
handle something like this.  8-(.
