Subject: Re: [PATCH 11/25] nfs: don't use intents for checking atomic open

As NFS was the only instance of d_relvalidate uing other fields
than 'flags' from the nameidata argument we can simply pass an int
flags now.  That will make life for ecryptfs a lot simpler, and it
also gets rid of all that if (nd && check_flags) crap because it's
passed conditionally.
