Hmm...  How the devil would things like pipe_read_open() get called, anyway?
pipe_rdwr_open() can be called, all right - that happens if you do pipe()
and then open() via /proc/self/fd/<n>.  But how could pipe_read_open() and
pipe_write_open() be called?  They are accessible only as ->open() of
read_pipefifo_fops/write_pipefifo_fops.  And those are only used by
fifo_open(), which does reassign file->f_op to them, but does *not* call
their ->open()...
