I believe this is actually a workaround for a uClibc bug rather than something 
specific to rootfs, but in the continuing absence of a 0.9.29 release, it's 
needed anyway.

However, I've queued it up without the check for entry->d_type.  If we can't 
rely on that then we shouldn't waste the bytes to look at it at all.
