Names are just another unique integer set (from another idr object).
Names are removed when the user refernces (handles) are all destroyed --
this required that handles for objects be counted separately from
internal kernel references (so that we can tell when the handles are all
gone).
mixed 32/64 bit systems need 'special' help for ioctl where the user-space
and kernel-space datatypes differ. Fixing the datatypes to be the same size,
and align the same way for both 32 and 64-bit ppc and x86 environments will
elimiante the need to have magic 32/64-bit ioctl translation code.
