Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fuse: signal that a fuse inode should exhibit local fs
 behaviors

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@...nel.org>

Create a new fuse inode flag that indicates that the kernel should
implement various local filesystem behaviors instead of passing vfs
commands straight through to the fuse server and expecting the server to
do all the work.  For example, this means that we'll use the kernel to
transform some ACL updates into mode changes, and later to do
enforcement of the immutable and append iflags.
