We have a good idea of how to do it, based on how the old NeXT code worked:

- the fake inode status only applies to mountpoints (avc.mvstat == 2) in
non-local cells (avc.fid.cell != 1)
- inodes with faked status information have a tag that identifies them
(avc.states has the CLied bit set)
- the real inode status is fetched in FindDCache/GetDCache if CLied is set


The problem is that the finder doesn't just stat things. If they turn
out to be directories, it *descends* into them, looking for icons and
stuff, so this approach won't help MacOS X
