This looks really cool!

How close / far from the standard lfs definition is this?

lfs.dir() is identical, I think.

lfs.attributes() is slightly different in that we don't represent permissions as "drwxrwxrwx" and instead just dump an octal string out. That could be made more compliant if it's important.

(And: we're missing all APIs except those two.)

Otherwise, it should match the standard lfs exactly.

Looks good to me. =) Deduping the kernel listing was on my TODO list, along with fixing the module_path foo.

Thanks! I'm not sure I understand / did anything about module_path foo, can you elaborate a little?

Nothing you've touched here, but a little further down [1] we add kernel directory to module_path, but we build off of getenv('module_path') and end up with multiple kernel directories in the path. Ideally we'd cache the module_path the first time and add the current kernel path to that every time.

(while flipping through the kernel selector, that is)

Oh, ok. I'm going to leave that alone in this revision, if that's alright.
