+ *	check accessibility of directory
+ *	check for modification attempts on read-only mounts

  * Overall outline of ufs_lookup:
  *
- *	check accessibility of directory
- *	look for name in cache, if found, then if at end of path
- *	  and deleting or creating, drop it, else return name
  *	search for name in directory, to found or notfound
  * notfound:
  *	if creating, return locked directory, leaving info on available slots
