 * bits are specific to every file system, in practice, many
 * file systems use the exact same on-disk format to describe
 * the lower 3 file type bits that represent the 7 POSIX file
 * types.
 *
 * It is important to note that the definitions in this
 * header MUST NOT change. This would break both the
 * userspace ABI and the on-disk format of filesystems
 * using this code.
 *
 * All those file systems can use this generic code for the
 * conversions.
