FUSER equivalent for 4.2?

Did not someone post an `fuser' for 4.2 some time ago?  But in any
case, it is relatively trivial, though you will need access to
/dev/kmem.

To find out whether anyone has a file or directory open, find its
inode, then search the kernel file and inode tables.  `ps' and
`pstat' sources are examples of programs that search about in kernel
data structures.

The real question is *why* you need to do this....
