May I politely inquire about the value of these comments?  How much information
is provided by refering to an argument as "the dentry structure" or "the path
structure", especially when there's nothing immediately above that would introduce
either.  "Type of 'dentry' argument is somehow related to struct dentry,
try and guess what the value might be - we don't care, we just need every
argument commented"?

Who needs that crap in the first place?
