//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The DEVFS File System contains inodes and dentries associated to all chdev descriptors 
// availables in the architecture. 
//
// It is structured as a three levels tree structure :
// - The "dev" directory inode is stored in cluster_IO. It is the root of the DEVFS
//   file system. The parent inode is the "/" VFS root.
// - There is one "internal_cxy" directory inode per cluster, that is the parent of
//   the local children inodes associated to the local, internal chdev descriptors. 
//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
// - The I/O cluster contains one "external" directory inode, that is the parent of 
//   the remote children inodes associated to the remote external chdev descriptors.
//   The parent dentry is stored in cluster_IO.
//
// The DEVFS extensions to the generic VFS are the following:
// 1) The vfs_ctx_t "extend" void* field is pointing on the devfs_ctx_t structure.
//    This structure contains two extended pointers on the DEVFS "dev" directory inode,
//    and on the "external" directory inode.
// 2) The vfs_inode_t "extend" void* field is pointing on the chdev descriptor.
