Peter just informed me that osdep.h is not the right place to add something
like this:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/CAFEAcA_=HAUNomKD2wurSVaAHa5mrk22A1oHKLWUDjk7v6Khmg@mail.gmail.com/
So this should be moved into a different header file.
Does that logic apply here too? In some ways I'd say that mknodat falls into the category of "things without which code would work on most platforms but fail to compile or misbehave on a minority of host OSes." If osdep.h is the wrong place, should it go back to 9p-util, where it lived before it moved to osdep?
