Umm. And my cramino() did exactly that. If it has a data pointer, it
uses that, otherwise it uses the directory offset.

It just doesn't care about the mode of the file.

(feel free to test the size too, for that matter - that's what the old
code does)

IOW, it uses the old CRAMINO() approach, except instead of "1" for the
non-offset case, it uses "dirent_offset+1"
