Like treating "all stat failures silently ignored, instead of treating ENOENT specifically" and "a non-directory non-file filesystem entity being silently ignored" two separate issues, so at least two patches, and possibly if we need a preliminary clean-up to make these two changes, yet another one? And each patch focuses on one thing it addresses, with its own test? That makes sense.

Thanks.
