fs: hard links - ln(1), and rm that removes a NAME
gbfs has carried I_NLINK since the beginning and nothing ever incremented it, so a file could only have one name. SYS_LINK adds a second directory entry pointing at the same inode: the data is stored once, and both names read it. That makes rm's job different. It now decrements the link count and only frees the inode and its blocks when the LAST name goes - removing one of two links used to free blocks the other still pointed at. Refused, with the reasons that matter here: linking a directory (it would make a cycle the tree walkers cannot survive), an existing name, and anything under /bin, which is ROM. The syscall takes a request block because the trap needs HL for its dispatch table - and ln copies both paths to the stack first, since that block is a static living at $A000, on top of the command line it is reading.
