The most reasonable thing the browser could do would be to do the
VIOC_AFS_STAT_MT_PT pioctl on each entry that it notices is in
AFS. (It can determine whether the directory is on afs by attempting
another pioctl, such as VIOCGETVOLSTAT) If the VIOC_AFS_STAT_MT_PT
pioctl succeeds, the browser knows that it is a directory and doesn't
have to stat it.
The AFS-specific odd/even inode speed optimization could also be used
here, but it isn't quite as important.
