Subject: [PATCH] use lookup_create in af_unix

From: Christoph Hellwig <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 12:23:36 +0200

currently it opencodes it, but that's in the way of chaning the
lookup_hash interface.

I'd prefer to disallow modular af_unix over exporting lookup_create,
but I'll leave that to you.
