Subject: [PATCH 17/18] xstat: Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal
	automount [ver #6]

Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of directories
with follow_link semantics.  This can be used by fstatat()/xstat() users to
permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent
mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.
