Patch seems to work, might want more testing.
It probably should not be applied without a discussion, especially
as no filesystem in kernel tree wants this. I am working on a fs that does.


This is backwards I think. This is not disallowed because there are
no filesystems that want it. Linux doesn't want it so it is disallowed
by the vfs.

You have to put forward a case for why we want it, rather than show us
your filesystem that "wants" it. Right?
