Subject: O_EXCL in NFSv3

Hello Trond,

The commit in v2.6.37
	c0204fd 2010-09-17 NFS: Clean up nfs4_proc_create()
looks totally dropping O_EXCL flag from NFSv3.
But fs/nfs/nfs3proc.c:nfs3_proc_create() and
fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c:nfsd3_proc_create() still expect O_EXCL to be passed.

And the commit log says "Clean up nfs4_proc_create()".
Is this change for NFSv3 intentional?
Actually O_EXCL in NFSv3 doesn't work in v2.6.37 and later.
