I think I understand correctly the concept of cnew_no_ctor macro in
dtable.cc now. cnew_no_ctor calls fhandler_console(void *) instead of
fhandler_console(fh_devices) to omits initialization of instance for
stat() call. This might make stat() slightly faster.
Based on this understanding, I would like to withdraw the previous
patch, and propose new patch series.
Could you please review the patch seriese?
