I am afraid this does not conform to the QEMU coding style. Declaration
of variables ("first_direntry" in this case) needs to be done at the
beginning of the block, and this block starts with the for () loop.

Fortunately, the vvfat code provides plenty of examples on how to do
this right. I strongly support choosing the well-established style of
creating a non-conditional block just around these three lines so that
the declaration does not need to be moved. See the declaration of the
direntry_t pointer "entry" in init_directories(), for instance.

The code mentioned above also teaches us that we can use
sizeof(first_direntry->name) instead of 11. However, I'll leave that up
to you.
